“If people were influenced by video games, then the majority of Facebook users would be farmers by now” is a jocular saying about gaming that has been printed on many images. The joke refers to FarmVille, a farming simulation social network game.
 
The saying was posted on Twitter by Tom Wilsdon on April 19, 2012.
