I still have no idea :)
"farmville"...Sure I heard that name long time ago. The challenge here is that I don't want to just open wikipedia. But I want to have an idea of why a game can produce this reaction to an adult :

I'm going to tell you a secret.

Youtubers use hyperbole and overreaction to garner views. There's no authenticity.

I like to view Animal Crossing as the original mobile game. A ton of random tasks, lots of goofy characters, simple art style. Progression is by the amount of real time that passes. Lots of 'daily' events to do. Its formula as been aped by thousands of mobile games nowadays, but there are still people that have nostalgia for the original.
