It has has now created the cyber-farmer. Who sometime simply cannot get enough of his farm. The way revenue is made is by displaying third party ads, also be offering cyber currency which users can purchase by paying with real currency.
Third party ads that advertise services make up for only 10% of their revenue says the company. It has been reported that some of these third-party companies have also been displaying shady ads that mislead users. This is being cleared says the company.
