FarmVille, launched by Zynga in June 2009, was the biggest game on Facebook in 2010 with tens of millions of daily players and more than 80 million monthly users at its peak. Its crops withered if you did not log in, its requests clogged everyone's notifications, and its virtual goods made Zynga hundreds of millions of dollars.
