FarmVille is a 2009 social network game created and released by Zynga that replicates agriculture. It’s a mash-up of Happy Farm and Farm Town. Ploughing land, planting, cultivating, and harvesting crops, harvesting trees, and rearing livestock are just a few of the activities involved in farmland management. FarmVille 2 and FarmVille 3 were released in September 2012 and November 2021, respectively.
Speaking with Axios about the company’s NFT-based gaming plans, Wolf stated that upcoming blockchain-based games will be completely new titles, as it “doesn’t make sense” to start incorporating NFTs into existing games like Farm Ville right now. He said that people can expect games to be like “Mafia Wars”, where people worked to make their crime family and play the role of gangsters, themselves.
Zynga has been taking steps that can backlash the company itself, by blockchain-based gaming sector. Nervousness has been a common denominator among gaming studios, as cryptocurrency-related features have frequently elicited a response from irate gamers.
Some players who have had NFTs added to their gaming experience believe that firms are simply searching for new ways to extract money from their users. However, as the initiative progresses until 2022, Zynga has announced ambitions to expand to nearly 100 members.
Conclusion
NFTs have a bright future in the game business, according to Zynga. It will not attempt to incorporate blockchain technology into its existing titles at this time. Rather, they chose to design totally new games with an entirely optional crypto-based mechanic.
