It quickly became the Farmville of the mobile gaming world. The first iOS version of Hay Day was launched in mid-2012, and the first Android version in late 2013. Its Supercell Store, which since late June has already been offering digital items (named Gold Pass and Gold Pass Bundle) for the Clash of Clans strategy game, now also comes with a section related to the Hay Day farming game, which has been an enormous commercial success for about a decade. Finland-based Supercell is an almost-wholly-owned Tencent subsidiary. One of the world's largest games companies, China's Tencent (which is also Epic's largest shareholder besides founder Tim Sweeney), has just doubled down on its efforts to circumvent the infamous app tax.
