I don’t know how much money developer Zynga has made from FarmVille , but it must be a crapload because it’s somehow encouraged Lady Gaga to sign up to a Gaga/ FarmVille crossover thing called GagaVille . *checks date* Nope, still not April 1st.
Apparently, this tie-in will see a Gaga-themed farm become available within FarmVille . This will introduce crystals, unicorns, and sheep on motorbikes to the Facebook game. GagaVille launches on May 17th, and users get early access to tracks and can purchase $25 Zynga Game Cards that include a free download of the album and exclusive bonus tracks.
There’ll also be Gaga-inspired items in other Zynga titles such as CityVille , FrontierVille , Mafia Wars , Zynga Poker , Café World , Treasure Isle , YoVille , PetVille , and Vampire Wars .
“I want to celebrate and share ‘Born This Way’ with my little monsters in a special way that’s never been done before,” explained Lady “ I’m an artist, not a celebrity ” Gaga. “Zynga has created a magical place in FarmVille where my fans can come play, and be the first to listen to the album.”
So there you go. Here’s that sheep I mentioned earlier.
