Shut. Down. Everything. Assuming "everything" is included in these 11 titles that Zynga is shutting down in a cost-reduction effort. This is certain sad news for tweens and soccer moms all over.
The games shutting down include the following smash hits:
While it probably doesn't matter much to most readers of TGN, try placing yourself in the shoes of someone who sunk tons of real-world money into these games. All of that time and money are all for not now. To try and make up for it, Zynga has offered some players of FishVille, Adventure World, and a few others a free package of virtual items to use in some of their other titles that aren't (yet) shut down.
Zynga still has over 30 titles still in operation across a variety of platforms including Facebook and mobile devices.
