It was surprising to lean today that Zynga was laying off a
large percentage of its workforce due to sliding numbers of players of their
games particularly Farmville. Now I have
been a farmer for a few years now and it is still a daily ritual. I do have to say however, I am not getting
any commissions when I sell my crops or my cow barn. I do have over 200 million dollars in farm
coins, no not farm cash, but coins. (You
see you have to pay if you want farm cash).
This is why the thought raced through my head today that I
would become a “Virtual Realtor”, a new character that you could change clothes
and dress up. The boy Realtor would have
options to buy pdas, ear pieces, nametags and loafer shoes. The girl would have choice of makeup, seven
inch spike heels and business cards. I
could sell and sub-lease the farm houses and barns, (are floating buildings
considered real property?)Of course you could sell enough buildings to get a
Mercedes in your gift box and can trade up for the jaguar. You can make more farm coins if you ask others
on your farm to participate, the more circles you get the more commissions. And then I woke up!
This just reminds me that there are no real ends to the means;
I hope that I do not make it to the 400 million mark that would mean I have put
more into Farmville than my own life!
