Nostalgia: the Facebook farm-game era

The Nostalgia category is for anyone who once set an alarm to harvest crops on Facebook. Here we cover what happened to FarmVille and the other social games of that era, suggest similar games you can play today, and explain, with cited studies, why planting and harvesting on a screen is so satisfying.

Historical facts come from dated sources, such as company announcements and established news outlets. FarmCapi grew out of that nostalgia, but it has no connection to FarmVille or Zynga, Happy Farm, Orkut or Google.
