KiwiFarms Owner Vows to Give Up Playing Video Games Citing Lack of Skill
November 28, 2017 - Madison Malone Kircher
Earlier this month, Kiwi Farms, an outdoor video-game playground in New Zealand, announced its closure. Though “part of a growing trend” in New Zealand of renting and selling games at playgrounds (though never inside, presumably), the park’s no-fun owner quickly found himself walking back statements that said he wasn’t shutting down for lack of business. The comments from KiwiFarms owner, Rob’s Fairway, aren’t going to make the office at Nintendo, Sony, and Nintendosoft any more happy.
In the past week, various people have been posting on Rob’s Facebook page about the park’s closure. Which was sad enough, but Fairway’s own commentary didn’t exactly mesh with what was being said.
Like, a couple days ago, when someone asked how the park was going:
Well, it is the best playground in the whole country, actually. Well, every single day it is the best playground. Actually, every single day it's the best playground. Is it ever the second best playground? Everyone tells me that no it's the best playground in the whole country, now I wonder why you would stop. People are talking about a car parking that is "broken", do you remember when you first went there did you notice that even though you may have walked the longest distance possible you are still being left to walk that same distance again??? Wow, that was an amazing experience right here. You may not have actually heard that some lads are getting kiwifarms but still you can't walk out of Kiwi Farms? What happens if you do? Do you then rent another park and get kiwifarms there too? Or do you have to reorient where you walk? I was left to walk the whole park again

Since then, there’s been a bit of back and forth about the park’s demise. A former KiwiFarm customer posted this:
Wait, what? Seriously, you’re closing down a fun place because you said you could no longer play games? — CFC (@empyall777) November 27, 2017
Fairway’s response? “I’ve decided not to play video games anymore and they have to understand that.”
As for when KiwiFarm will reopen, Rob told the New Zealand Herald he would have to reopen with a completely different concept. “We’ve had a lot of feedback from people saying, ‘I want a safe, quiet place to play,'” he told the paper. “There’s lots of ideas circulating about new uses and lots of requests from those who played here previously to get the park open again.” Well, someone can always bring a two-story high wall into a party.
