We're sorry to inform you that PetVille will be shutting down on Dec 30, 2012. Zynga is hoping that a lucrative real-money market could make up for declining revenue from games like "FarmVille" and other fading titles that still generate the bulk of its sales.

About 1,260 users commented on the game's Facebook page, some lamenting the game's shutdown.

The 11 titles shut down or closed to new players include role-playing game "Mafia Wars 2," "Vampire Wars," "ForestVille" and "FishVille." All the 11 shutdowns occurred in December. The San Francisco-based company announced the "Petville" shutdown two weeks ago on its Facebook page. Zynga in October said it would shut down 13 underperforming titles after warning that its revenues were slowing as gamers fled from its once-popular titles published on the Facebook platform in large numbers and sharply revised its full-year outlook. Social games publisher Zynga Inc confirmed on Monday that it has carried out 11 of the planned shutdowns of 13 game titles, with "Petville" being the latest game on which it pulled the plug.
