We all heard about Zynga’s resource management game FarmVille. Hell… Some of you raged getting countless invites to play the game from your Facebook friends. Don’t worry, it will all be over soon. Zynga announced that the super-annoying Facebook social game is shutting down on December 31st, 2020.

FarmVille was released 11 years ago and gained a huge following on various social networks utilizing the Flash Player. However, as the tide shifts and companies such as Adobe, Facebook, and Google are turning away from the Flash Player, Zynga decided to close down the game altogether instead of remaking it.

In an official statement Zynga wrote this:

“Following an incredible 11 years since its initial launch back in 2009, we are officially announcing the closure of the original FarmVille game on Facebook. As previously stated, Adobe will stop distributing and updating Flash Player for all web browsers, and Facebook will stop supporting Flash games on the platform completely after December 31st, 2020. FarmVille will therefore be directly affected as a result of this.

We’re aware that many of you have been with us since the very beginning, helping to build an incredible global community of players over the years who’ve enjoyed this game just as much as we have. For that we say thank you.

In advance of sunsetting the game, we would like to point out that in-app purchases will be available up until November 17, at which point the game’s payment system will be completely turned off. Thereafter the game will not be accepting any in-app payments and any refunds will not be processed during this time. FarmVille will, however, continue to be playable until December 31st, 2020, at which point it will be shut down completely.

Any remaining credits that you have during this period should be used before December 31st, 2020. We are also working on fun in-game activities to be announced soon that are designed to make your remaining time with FarmVille even more enjoyable.

We hope that the in-game experiences we’ve developed over the years have provided you with the highest level of entertainment that we strive to fulfill here at Zynga. We look forward to you joining us in Farmville 2: Tropic Escape, Farmville 2: Country Escape and the upcoming worldwide launch of FarmVille 3 on mobile.”

Oh yeah… We forgot to mention that the company is shutting down only the original game while its sequel will still be available. However, its player numbers are not even close compared to the original. The original FarmVille boasted more than 60 million active players on its launch back in 2009, becoming the most popular game on Facebook. Rest in peace…
