By Walt Hickey Farmville After 11 years, Farmville is closing up shop on Facebook. Launched in 2009, the game basically invented the concept of the viral Facebook game, hitting 73 million monthly active users in that first year. Things have changed a lot since then: no longer is the answer to “what’s the worst thing Facebook has done to American society?” an agriculture-based freemium, real-time strategy game. With the coming death of Adobe Flash online, Farmville will now only exist as its insanely profitable standalone apps. In-app purchases will be available until November 17, and the game will stop being playable on December 31.
