Malaysians love to play games on social media. One of the latest craze is called Pirate Kings, a simple Facebook game where one spins a wheel to earn gold. The gold will then be used to upgrade the player's island.

It’s a very simple Facebook game that requires you to spin a wheel to earn gold, pick up defensive bubbles, and attack other players. But it’s also a one-button game with a bit more depth than your usual Flappy Bird clone. With the riches you earn from the wheel, you can build up your own island.

You don’t get many options by way of customization: there are just five different objects that can be placed on your island as targets for attackers, and these can be upgraded just five times. Occasionally, your wheel spin will net you more spins, or you’ll be able to play a mini guessing game and steal all the money from an unfortunate player who has been selected at random by the game.

But not all Malaysians are happy. A lot have been getting unnecessary invites on Facebook and they have made their feelings known.

The invites will keep coming from your Facebook friends if you don't make some manual, technical, yet life-changing updates. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Head to the "Games" tab on your left sidebar on Facebook.
