Facebook Games are UGH!

Farmville. Instantly and insanely popular, this Facebook game is notable for simulating farms, allowing hours of fun, and draining your credit cards. Quite using tropes Joe.

It really is.
I'm okay with Facebook. I am not okay with their UGH games. In ol' Britain, a young boy spent SO much money on his mother's credit card. On Farmville. A game where you have cows. Yes. It happened. So today our topic is the issue of those DANG Facebook games. Zynga is a company in San Diego that is known for the Ville games. Cityville, Farmville, something about cowboys? Anyways, they all include a feature I HATE so much, freemium. Of course you are going to spend money on one of these games unless you like the worst stuff. It's human nature to want this stuff and waste our money on it. I have a solution.

Shh! 
I have a solution to freemium and here it is. Get rid of stat boosters. Make it cosmetic. Then so many people won't overspend on a silly game. But you can't stand here and say you are making anyone's lives better but your own with the stat booster plan. Facebook people and other users of the internet,  quit playing so much. Treat yourself like you would you child and limit your time on their and the money you are willing to spend. If Zynga and others change their buisness model, we should change our life model so we can all coexist without having Zynga ruling the world with their billions from Farmville and others.

You know how it goes, i'm Joe and this was Blog and Wario, thanks for reading.

Also, sorry about taking so long. I'll be back to weekly posts now, so check back on the 17th. I'll be there. Probably.
