The sun is setting over the Facebook game that had 30 million daily users
2020 isn’t the only thing that will come to an end on Thursday. The day that marks the end of the year also marks the day that will end FarmVille One of the most addictive Facebook games.
FarmVille was a game that allowed players to build colorful and cartoonish farms by tending their crops and taking care of livestock, was played by 30 million daily users at its highest. However, game creator Zynga announced in September that it would end the game in December. 31, as a result of Adobe’s decision to cease distribution and updates of the Flash Player for browsers on the web and, in turn, caused Facebook to announce the end of its support for Flash games available on their platform.
The evidence has been all over the place for a while. In the year 2017, Facebook — along with Adobe, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla announced plans to cease support for Flash until December of this year.
The original standard for websites that play games, stream videos, and provide animation via browsers, Flash Player has fallen out of favor with numerous tech firms and organizations that view the plug-in as a battery drainer and security flaw. The popularity of the plug-in has diminished in recent years, as more of the video streaming industry shifted to HTML5 which is a language in development that runs graphics without plug-ins.
If you’re looking to go on with doing fake farming you have other options. The firm will continue to offer FarmVille 2: Tropic Escape as well as FarmVille 2: Country Escape and also says that players can expect the coming global release of FarmVille 3 for mobile.
