The company has formally reversed their decision and decided to keep the game online. This outcome reflects the deep commitment of our community and I am humbled by what we achieved through our collective focus.

A Petition to Zynga Requesting the Company Keep Our Beloved Café World Game Open!
On Friday, May 23, 2014, as loyal Café World players tried logging in to their virtual Cafes, they were unexpectedly hit with a “splash screen” post from Zynga announcing that the Café World game would be permanently closed as of July 22, 2014. This announcement sent a shock wave throughout the social gaming community, as there are literally millions of people who are devoted to this game, many of whom have spent years building their little virtual Cafés, investing both time and money into the game, and building a social network of Café World Friends & Neighbors.
If you’re one on the millions of dedicated Café World players who were devastated by the unexpected news that Zynga would discontinue the game, please take a moment to sign this petition asking Zynga to Save Our Cafés!
TO: Don Mattrick, Zynga’s CEO and Mark Pincus, Zynga’s Chairman & Chief Product Officer:
We, the undersigned, being loyal players of your Social Network game “Café World” do hereby formally request that you reconsider your decision to close the game. We each truly enjoy playing this game, and were absolutely devastated by the announcement that you’ve decided to discontinue and close Café World effective July 22, 2014.
We have each invested not only money on VIP Memberships and purchasing virtual goods, but an incalculable amount of our valuable free time in to playing the Café World game, while building our virtual Cafés. With so much invested, we feel that it’s unfair to simply close the doors on us with such short notice, while leaving us with no comparable option to replace this game.
It’s difficult to explain how Café World has given a social life back to many of us who, for any number of reasons, didn’t have much social contact before we found Café World. We ask you to please consider the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of players who enjoy, and get great satisfaction from playing Café World every day. We plead with you; do NOT take this game and social life-line away from us. Please keep Café World up, running and operational for your faithful customers and loyal, daily players.
Thank you.
About the Game:
Café World is a multiplayer restaurant simulation social network game created by Zynga, and launched in September 2009. It quickly became the fastest growing social game ever, reaching 8 million users in 7 days, and peaked at over 10 million daily active users, which made it Zynga's third largest game after FarmVille and CityVille. Available on Facebook, players strive to become virtual Master Chefs and build their Cafés by completing various missions, goals, multi-part quests and catering orders. Currently, the game attracts approximately 2.6 million monthly active users. It’s a “freemium” game, meaning there is no cost to play, but players have the option of purchasing premium content. On 5/23/14 Zynga announced that it would be closing the game on 7/22/14.

The stories shared by players regarding the connections forged within Café World reveal that this space is far more than a simple game. I have been compiling these accounts to present to the leadership at Zynga so they understand the impact of their decision.

cafe world is the only zygna game I play. I am a ruby VIP and of course have paid, real money, to play this game, because I do like it so much. I will NOT play any other games from zygna.. I have tried others and just do not like them that much. zygna, is not the only game on facebook.
There is such a great community of Cafeworld players all round the world. It would be dreadful to lose it. Please zynga reconsider closing this great game. Also it's bad to close it without giving us back our cafe cash. I for one will not play another zynga game.
Please di not Close CW, It's the only game I enjoy and meet people. Since i have been sick a few years ago, couldn't work and stayed home for 1 year i played daily. Now I still play daily and look forward to coming and playing with friends. I can't find another game I like half as much!!
I agree with you wholeheartedly! Considering I've played since it's introduction, dealt with their glitches, paid money, I'm disabled, I've met many wonderful people, one lady who is also disabled lives in England, I in Nebraska she came for a visit! That's the power of Cafe World and its dedicated players!
I would also like to comment that I'm sure you're trying to dedicate more time to games for the younger generation. I got one know that 95% if my friends that play Cafe World are over 25 if not over 30. PLEASE give us (the older generation) something to enjoy.
Please bring cafe world back.
