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 closeCafé Worldeffective 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 theCafé Worldgame, 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 howCafé Worldhas given a social life back to many of us who, for any number of reasons, didn’t have much social contact before we foundCafé World. We ask you to please consider the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of players who enjoy, and get great satisfaction from playingCafé Worldevery day.We plead with you; doNOTtake this game and social life-line away from us.Please keepCafé Worldup, running and operational for your faithful customers and loyal, daily players.

Thank you.

About the Game:

Café Worldis 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.
