You are being lied to

Farmville is an absolute shitpile. It is the worst game of all time and I am offended by its popularity.   It is an affront to my senses and dignity. Never has such a diasterously stupid annoying douchebag game been invented.  Instead of anything meaningful or even remotely amusing, now facebook is full of:

“John just bought a new cow!!”

“Carl’s hens just layed 3 eggs!!”

“TimTim is now a level 20 in farmville!!”

I get these childish, imbecilic updates at work while I watch the entire US economy crumble under the weight of this massive recession.  All day long nothing but updates on what shitfaced activities are going on in people’s imaginary farms. If there was any justice the designers of this game and their families would be eating out of trash bins for their part in the financial havoc they have caused.

Now I have strong credentials in this field, as anyone who knows me can tell you.  If there is one thing I love its playing video games.  But this is a travesty of unspeakable proportions.

The gameplay is such boiled down simplistic blah that any child can play it. It shows that they made this game mass market. But to actually get anywhere requires some, serious time input. Of course, that is why FarmVille makes money. Don’t want to wait to get that tractor? A credit card is all you need. The game is designed to make you so frustrated with its bad design that you will fix it with your money. People do. There is another term for Farmville…its called pyramid scheme.
