The new craze on Xiaonei and other Chinese SNS, however, are virtual aquarium games. The fact that they derive the structure from our game Insaniquarium makes us proud. The fact that some of them steal the actual art assets from the game itself, a bit less.

It's hard to say whether the popularity is a great thing for Chinese SNS or a tragedy for net citizens,especially white-collars. Some ridiculous issues happened. For example, pairs quarreled and even tended to break up because of farms online.

The number of farming games on FB shows that: - IP is not easily defendable - Most people can't tell who made the first one - Almost no-one knows about the mother of all farm games: Harvest Moon by Victor Interactive on Super NES in Japan in 1996 - Maybe Farming Games did well in China not only because there are many farmers in China ;-P

Wrong. Harvest Moon was not the first. That would go to Sim Farm (93)

Thanks Cameron - I'll correct that in future presos. (the point was more to demonstrate that the genre is not new, rather than find the ultimate first ever one, there is a good chance there is another game prior to this one too)

That is bizzare. Five minutes's farm game only has less than 6 Million DAU. You can count from different analytics websites. No idea how the 23 Million come from.
