The Facebook version of Diner Dash is shutting down after eight months due to a decline in the game’s popularity.
There are currently just over 1 million monthly users, half of what the game was bringing in back in January.
Daily, there are as few as 140K users, and has dropped as low as 100K users in the last few days.

These consumers can’t be wrong.”
