The Ville (video game)

The Ville is a defunct game by Zynga released on June 30, 2012 in which the object was to earn experience points by building a house and talking with neighbors.[1]

The game depended on energy, coins, and cash like many other Zynga games, but it also depended on happiness. Happiness could be earned by talking to neighbors.

On August 3, 2012, EA sued Zynga, claiming that The Ville infringed on the copyright of The Sims Social.[2] EA and Zynga reached a settlement in February 2013, the terms of which were not made public.[3]

Closure

It was announced on April 24, 2013 that the game would shut down on June 24, 2013,[4] 10 days after its rival EA game, The Sims Social shut down.
