I’m disappointed to see Zynga cancelling Space Wars. More to the point, without any warning.

Players of the game came online to play it one day only to find that it had been discontinued. Why was it discontinued? I speculate that it was likely because it was not bringing in profits, so it only makes sense that Zynga cut it. However, some warning would have been nice as it would have shown loyalty from Zynga to its customers.

Space Wars was in essence another clone of Mafia Wars – the basic concept game that has been cloned across 50% of Zynga’s arsenal of games.

Zynga also recently released a Plane into FarmVille, that flies above your farm and makes your crops grow INSTANTLY! However, the charge for this can be extortionate depending on the current state of your crops. And of course, you have to have real money to do it.

In my opinion, Zynga does not produce games of a high quality, and it won’t take much for another company to come along and push them out of the playing field. I found Google’s PacMan more addictive myself.
