Did anyone here play Facebook games?

[Dylan]

In 2022, Facebook games are something that only boomers play. However back then, from the late 2000s to the early 2010s, ALL the kids were playin' em! I'm talkin FARMVILLE! I'm talking CANDY CRUSH! God there were so many games! I personally fell into a game called YoVille, where I scammed people out of millions of coins and sold them for real money. This was a great profit when I was unemployed...looking back, I don't regret it. If you're stupid enough to get scammed, chances are you didn't deserve the millions of coins you had anyway. That's besides the point though.

I feel like Facebook had some games that while at the surface weren't really fun and lacked depth entirely, still had a charm to them. Did you play any?

Pet Ville was my jam.

I used to play critical ops on Facebook gameroom back in 2015/2016
I would still play it but nowadays is just a mobile exclusive and playing shooters on phones doesnt make any sense, its uncomfortable, you can barely aim and a phone cant reach above 60 fps also thag nowadays csgo is free too so...

Used to when I was younger but I haven't even touched Facebook in forever

I don't Facebok...

A friend did convince me to try out a Facebook'ish game, once. They greatly enjoyed it... I stopped playing it when it asked me for $5 to decrease the build time of a turret from 24hrs to "instant."

These sorts of games are entirely designed to be addictive and enjoyable. That is their entire focus. They are designed to be video-game crack. Their purpose isn't to entertain the consumer, though, it's to force the consumer to spend money in order to continue that constant flow of crack. They are tiny little torture machines.

Are Facebook games still available?? But most of them were made in Flash and Flash is discontinued- isn't it?

I played most of the Facebook games before they were cool.
Like Ravenwood Fair. Which John Romero somehow helped work on.
YEs, the guy who helped give us Doom somehow helped a facebook game. XD

Some facebook games should still be around, they don't all use Flash.

What a daft assertion.

Only bomers play them now, but miraculously back then when YOU did it was all cool.

Yeah, that sounds legit and you are the arbiter of what is cool.....

Anywho, I'm only messing around, but I can't recall ever really playing anything on Facebook . I do recall in the earlier days there was something about these random chance cards that unlocked stickers or something (a bit Like Steam), and I remember messing around with that as I was annoying one of my friends at the time with them. But nothing for actual serious reasons.

Didn't appeal to me at all because, well, I had conventional games to play.

Not surprised, John Romero also started making mobile games in the 2000s before they were popular.
Anyway, Facebook stopped being profitable for game developers long ago.

Ah. I didn't realize that.

Never had any social media, I find the idea of it childish and unnecessary. Why would I play
what are essentially mobile games when I have actual games?

[Yavin Shikanoko]

Yeah i think it was called hotel city the one I played and I also used to play pet society

The sole reason I have a Facebook account is my mother. My mother is the person who introduced me to gaming, at age 3. She still games to this day. Her favorite games are Pac-Man and Puyo Puyo - or as she knows it, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Oddly enough, that game's a Puyo Puyo reskin.

That being said, I used to compete against her in Candy Crush over Facebook. Much like we used to compete against each other in Puyo Puyo when I was a kid.

I could not compete then, I cannot compete now.

You're lucky, my mother wouldn't let us have any games until we moved out.
