For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been reading a lot of updates about Zynga requiring a monthly subscription fee of $5.99 to be able to play Farmville. We immediately checked out whether this rumour is true. We were relieved to learn that there is simply no truth behind it. Zynga does not intend to ask money for Farmville access anytime soon.
However, if you come to think of it, such a change could be expected if not soon, but sometime in the future. One of the most successful online games, World of Warcraft, has been consistently on top of the charts although players pay for the software and a monthly subscription. For a game as popular as Farmville, we would not be surprised if the majority of the players would still stick around even if it would mean sacrificing one cafe latte in a month. 
We’ll see how it will turn out. But what would you do if Zynga indeed decides to ask for a monthly payment?
