This is wild for FarmVille, because Flash also buys the farm

2020 is not the only thing coming to an end on Thursday. The last day of the year is also the last day for FarmVille, one of the original addictive facebook games.

FarmVille, which has enabled players to grow colorful cartoon farms by caring for crops and livestock, has 30 million players at its peak daily. But game developer Zynga announced In September, the game will close on December 31, a victim of Adobe’s decision to stop distributing and updating Flash Player for web browsers, which led to Facebook announcing an end to Flash games on its platform has.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time. In 2017, Facebook – together with Adobe, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla – announced plans to end support for Flash by December this year.

Once the de facto standard for websites to run games, stream video and provide animation via browser software, Flash Player has fallen out of favor with many technology companies and organizations, which view the plug-in as a battery pig and security vulnerability. Its popularity has declined over the past few years as more and more people in the online video industry turn to HTML5, a developing language that can use graphics without plug-ins.

And if you really want to farm fake, there are other options. The company will continue to operate FarmVille 2: Tropic Escape and FarmVille 2: Country Escape, saying players can look forward to the upcoming worldwide launch of FarmVille 3 for mobile phones.
