Rumor: FarmVille Makers May Split from Facebook

13May10

Another day, another rumor. This time it’s about Zynga and Facebook. You may know Zynga, developers of the highly addictive and “social” games FarmVille and Mafia Wars. With an over 82.7 million active users cultivating their virtual farms, it’s no wonder Zynga may be pushing to test their player’s devotion meters.

How hooked on FarmVille are you that you would leave Facebook to play it? That’s the other thing. I’m not so sure it would be as fun or sustain the momentum. I know I wouldn’t play Restaurant City if it was on another website way back then.

So what do you think? If Zynga does decide to split from Facebook and host its games on its own servers, would you jump with them? One thing that can be guaranteed is that if Zynga leaves, Mark Zuckerberg will be pissed. Don’t worry though, Playfish would be more than happy to satisfy your social network gaming needs.
