Zynga, the company behind FarmVille, announced that it is shutting down the original web game at the end of this year. While many people don't play the game anymore, it did attract millions of users, with roughly 30 million people playing FarmVille at its peak popularity. Zynga released a mobile version and sequel of the game, but these never amassed that many players.

The news is expected since Facebook announced in July that it would stop supporting Flash games as of December 31, the same date Adobe plans to kill the Flash player. With Flash support slowly being removed across the internet, thousands of games have been impacted, with several browsers abandoning Flash support already. Others block it by default. Zynga wrote:
