Farmville and the Internet are surely diverting, and they may suggest a desire for community, but the relationships, like the watermelons online, lack the most important and satisfying substance.
Corrections conjectures that FarmVille does, however, offer a relatively complex dynamic programming problem for an individual user. How best to maximize (perhaps discounted) revenue over time with borrowing constraints is a challenging problem. Replicability, lack of continuous time trends that one has in the real world makes the game perhaps more tractable than a regular farmer's problem. Corrections sees this criticism as unwarranted.
