Farmville Food Coming to 7-Eleven Stores
Just when we hear Farmville is leaving Facebook, it starts invading our offline lives.
This week, reports about Farmville splitting from Facebook and launching on its own portal, farmville.com, have got us all excited. News that we’ll soon be seeing Farmville drinks and snacks on the shelves in 7-Eleven? Not so much. It’s all part of a huge advertising campaign and apparently, we won’t have to wait long to see it.
Games.com cites a source close to the campaign that says we can expect to see Farmville, YoVille and Mafia Wars-themed Super Big Gulps and Slurpees. The drinks and assorted snacks will come with game coupons which users can redeem for in-game items. Sandwiches will get you a sandwich cart in Farmville; fruit will you get a chocolate persimmon tree and so on and so forth.

Facebook is Now In a Relationship With Farmville
Despite recent rumors that the company responsible for Farmville may split from Facebook, Zynga and Facebook yesterday announced that the two had signed a five-year contract.
Previous reports suggested that Zynga was fed up with Facebook’s antics engineered to pressure the social gaming site into signing a contract that would turn Farmville and other games into Facebook-only titles. However, although the terms of the agreement were not disclosed to the press, it would seem the two have made amends. Whereas before sources said Zynga CEO Mark Pincus was preparing to split from Facebook, he now seems quite happy about the whole affair.
“Facebook was a pioneer in opening their platform in 2007 and in just three years tens of millions of Facebook users play our games everyday, from FarmVille and Cafe World to Treasure Isle and Mafia Wars,” said Pincus. “We are excited about Facebook’s long-term commitment to social gaming and Zynga, and look forward to working with them and other platform providers to bring the best social gaming experience to users worldwide.”
Zynga describes the agreement as a “five-year strategic relationship that increases both Facebook and Zynga’s shared commitment to social gaming.” The deal will also expand the use of the all important Facebook Credits in Zynga’s games.
