<p>EA have announced that numerous titles on Facebook will be closing down on the 14<sup>th</sup> June, even though players may have in-game cash still in hand.</p>
<p>The three games which are going to be closed down are SimCity Social, The Sims Social and Pet Society which are all developed by Playfish after they were bought for $300 million in 2009.</p>
<p>A recent FAQ posted on Playfish’s forums state that players are <i>“encouraged” </i>to spend in-game cash before the three games shut down. Could a more obvious sign be given?</p>
