Shutting them down allows Zynga to re-allocate resources and reduce costs. Looking at the numbers of players below, it is clear why Zynga would shut the games down - they aren't on the scale of Zynga's most popular games. Much of its success currently lies with its mobile games, like "Texas Hold 'Em Poker" and "Words With Friends." ![]() About 1,260 users commented on the game's Facebook page, some lamenting the game's shutdown.The list of games being shut down is mostly games that are run on Facebook - which isn't surprising given that Zynga, like many other companies, is seeing its player base migrate increasingly to mobile devices. "Petville," which lets users adopt virtual pets, has 7.5 million likes on Facebook but only 60,000 daily active users, according to AppData. "PetVille" players were offered a one-time, complimentary bonus package for virtual goods in those games. ![]() "In place of 'PetVille,' we encourage you to play other Zynga games like 'Castleville,' 'Chefville,' 'Farmville 2,' 'Mafia Wars' and 'Yoville,'" the company told players on its 'PetVille' Facebook page. The 11 titles shut down or closed to new players include role-playing game "Mafia Wars 2," "Vampire Wars," "ForestVille" and "FishVille." All the 11 shutdowns occurred in December. The San Francisco-based company announced the "Petville" shutdown two weeks ago on its Facebook page. Zynga in October said it would shut down 13 underperforming titles after warning that its revenues were slowing as gamers fled from its once-popular titles published on the Facebook platform in large numbers and sharply revised its full-year outlook. Social games publisher Zynga has confirmed that it has carried out 11 of the planned shutdowns of 13 game titles, with "Petville" being the latest game on which it pulled the plug. ![]()
