FarmVille moooves onto iPhone FarmVille, the game enjoyed by millions to the bemusement of everyone else, is in the iTunes app store – for those who can't bear to be separated from their crops. The free download promises all the pointless monotony and social climbing of the Facebook version, though not using Flash obviously. Farmville on the iPhone When …
I've not played Farmville on Facebook, but I am on Facebook and most of my friends (family actually) play Farmville so much that I had to stop all the Farmville messages from them all. Now that it's on the iOS I might just have to give it a go.
Curious, though, why are they giving it away? I'd have thought at a low price point there wouldn't be any difference in number of downloads versus giving it away for free. I'd even pay for it.
I think the more interesting thing about this story is that Zynga had previously said they would not develop apps for the iOS, and here they are. This surely is another nail in Flash's coffin?
...buying people drinks is any less (or more) sad than buying them some virtual thing. Or buying them all a Rolex, or a cheap teddy bear, or a rose. It is all the same inter-personal action targeting the same aspect of human behavior. But singling out others as 'inferior' to oneself in any way possible for a small ego trip is also an integral aspect of human behavior (in fact I am probably doing it myself right now).
In the long-end we are all dead and forgotten with the entire works of humanity subducted back into the mantle. Then the Sun consumes the Earth before dying itself.
And, no I'm not your downvoter, sad bastard (aka someone who won't reinforce your ego trip) or otherwise.
Never played farmville. Prefer sadville. That may be my chronic depression expressing itself ;-P
Err, no. There's a hidden button on each status update allowing you to hide the person posting or the application posting the update. I've hidden all the games, and de-friended the most serious offenders.
Also, this is the only reason I log into the main Facebook site. I do everything else on it from my iPod or Tweetdeck or Lightroom.
Most post 70 farmvillers are using wall farming toolbars or have gone the whole hog and use a BOT to do all the boring stuff.. bet we won't see much of this from the Christian Brotherhood. ( Jesus Phone Fanbois)
How will they be able to stomach being second class Farmers?
No Eiffel Towers in their future......
