FarmVille and its evil cousins, FrontierVille and Mafia Wars, are everywhere you look these days, but now they're set to pop up in even more places as Zynga will launch some of their properties on Yahoo, says Next Gen. I could only take about a week of weed whacking in FrontierVille when it originally launched on Facebook this year. No word on that one yet, but now both FarmVille and Mafia Wars will kick things off for this deal between the social game maker and Yahoo this week. Now even more people will be thrown into the endless, mindless loop.
It was recently stated that over 320 million people have played Zynga games. Some think that they've reached their maximum potential on Facebook. Branching out is good for them, but it is good for the American workforce?
When things like these happen, you know it has gone too far. Seriously. Watch the video.
