I can’t believe it is being shut down after all these years. Here are some posts from the Zynga website forum:Ĭhellesie: “Please reconsider. Online posts are echoing the fact that for so many of us, Cityville is the only game we want to play. Even Cityville’s Facebook page currently has 33,000,000+ page likes.
If Cityville is not getting the attention Zynga would like, why not promote it more? Even if Cityville is being missed by the new Zynga users, Cityville certainly should not go away for the loyal users who have invested years of time into building their own city since its launch date. The love we have for Cityville is what Zynga strives to create, not eliminate. It also displays what Zynga claims to do and be. Only Zynga combines engineering, industry-leading product management and analytics to deliver products that strike a chord with consumers and add real value in their lives.” This statement encapsulates Cityville at the highest level. Front and center on the “About” page of, Don Mattrick is quoted saying “Zynga has redefined entertainment and brought gaming to the mainstream. It is incredibly contradictory for Zynga to go against the main statement of its CEO. Cityville’s record-breaking success is undeniable. It is as if you have gotten so big that you have forgotten the loyal consumers who helped make you big in the first place. Taking Cityville away sends a clear message that we are not important to a big company. We are the exact people you are trying to reach with your games. Cityville’s shutdown will cause a bigger ripple effect than may have been considered.Īs a company that exists to reach game players, we hope you listen to our outcry. It is upsetting countless loyal customers who are vowing to never play or recommend Zynga products. Maybe you had good intentions of focusing on newer games however, it is not going to accomplish the kind of good that may have been intended. how does our time and loyalty get deemed worthless to you. this is not fair to all of us loyal players. how do you decide Cityville players are disposable.
Here is a post from the Zynga forum and we share Andy’s sentiment:Īndy1963 "why shut us down. It is a disrespectful way to treat loyal customers. Millions of players love this game and to take it away is to rob us of years of time, money and effort. Zynga’s HQ is based in San Francisco but it has nine offices in total worldwide.Please reconsider! We are upset and outraged at the announcement of shutting down Cityville. In February it settled a dispute with Digital Chocolate which claimed Zynga’s Mafia Wars had infringed copyright on one of its games. It’s true Zynga has been sued by other game developers in the past, but it has settled all these cases. While Zynga plays games with the legal process we will continue focusing on using our substantial resources to create games that entertain our customers.” Zynga’s anti-competitive effort to bully us with a frivolous lawsuit – especially when we have some of the same key investors – is pathetic. Vostu has 500 brilliant employees working night and day for online games that our 35m worldwide users enjoy.

Spokesperson for Vostu Davidson Goldin added: Zynga has been accused of copying so many games that it’s sadly lost the ability to recognise games like ours that are chock full of original content and have been independently created. Vostu has branded Zynga’s lawsuit as frivolous” and pathetic”. We welcome Vostu into the arena of social games, but blatant infringement of our creative works is not an acceptable business strategy – it is a violation of the law.”
