Ravenwood Fair is quite a nice little Facebook game, launched in 2010 and peaking in April 2011 as one of the most popular titles on the social network, with more than 1.2 million daily users. While it was fun enough, the game was interesting for another reason: it was DOOM creator John Romero's first foray into the social / casual gaming genre.
Gaming Everywhere writes, "Foundation Games has announced the release of Ravenwood Fair, a new mobile version of legendary game designer John Romero’s Ravenwood franchise."

Ravenwood Fair is a woodland sim, designed by the gaming industry legend John Romero, id Software co-founder. It is a Facebook application, launched in October last year, that has accumulated a staggering number of 10 million users.
I hate the fact that industry leaders are accepting so called games like this to be the future and it's happening a lot. This no longer seems to be passion to make something but the fuel to just make money out of people which are willing to do nothing constructive nor challenging with their spare time.
I can agree with you but the fact these games are casual (for non-gamers games, and there are alot of people that play this game dont have interested to play lets say Quake or other games like that.
The fact is market exists (facebook and other social media websites) and in future I think there will be significant growth.
