First satirical social network game

American videogame designer Professor Ian Bogost describes Cow Clicker as “a Facebook game about Facebook games”. This social network MMO satirizes titles such as FarmVille, and involves clicking on a picture of a cow every six hours. It drew an all-time monthly high of 54,245 users, and spawned a puzzle game, an iPhone game and an alternate reality game, making it the most successful satirical social MMO to date. It also sells new cow pictures to be clicked on, the most expensive of which, the “Roboclicker”, had an asking price of 5,000 “Mooney”, or £208 ($340).
