Hello, and a couple questions

I have happily spent a lot of money on donuts over the past years. Sadly EA has eliminated all the elements that made the game so insanely addictive (friend points, neighbor visits, community prizes, hard to grind events, etc, etc). As a result I am sure revenue, active players and new players have taken a huge dip. Just look at these forums and all the blogs that used to exist around this game. I used to spend hours here chatting with other players, strategizing and sharing designs. This was one of the most vibrant online communities I had ever been too. My guess is that it will continue in this format, but never revert back to what it was. Like other city builder games, it can bring in a trickle of cash with little dev support or effort. There is no real benefit to EA to invest in bringing the other elements back, as the player base is gone. It just is what it is.
