I read an article that said EA had to make some cuts and lay off employees. This isn't the first time EA deleted apps from the Appstore. They recently took down Theme Park. Apps will always be removed, no matter which company distributes them. That's the one flaw of owning a tablet. They removed You Don't Know Jack, which I enjoyed playing, until I had to delete it to make room for other apps. I'm sure Tapped Out will be okay since it's one of EA's highest grossing apps.

If they want to make some extra revenue from deleted apps that will now bring in no income. perhaps for a fee they can offer a disc at least of the graphics, still shots, of a player's final progress. I don't know if this makes sense for any of those apps that have been removed since I am not familiar with any of those games, but I sure would love to have a disc of my entire Springfield depicting its very last day when that time (hopefully long from now) comes.

While tapped out keeps making plenty of money for our lords then we should be fairly safe from the axe, and at the moment there is plenty of new money being attracted to the game so for now we're safe but one day that axe will fall and the forum will be full of people suffering from withdrawal symptoms and looking for their new fix of a game.

Time for an update!http://shadowfire.server101.com/springfield.jpg

use photoshop to create it with maaaaany screenshots. it seems btw that it's due to ios 9.1 update and don't bother with updating all games for that

Believe that he was saying that those games weren't compatible with 9.1 and for some reason they decided that it wasn't worth investing the time and money to make those apps work so instead pulled them.

I doubt Tapped Out will be removed anytime soon though! :-)

Just in case we should start planning now. Where do you all want to hang out if this forum ever goes away? The madden game? LPN's house? Thoughts?

How about Neosec's basement? :-) He's gotta have something to do once his pride and joy goes the way of the dodo bird and the dinosaurs :mrgreen:

I'll be at the Game Discussion forum for The Simpsons: Tapped Out 2 (the one with cars that drive on the roads).
