How EA profits from the Squidport thingy

I think there's a good reason for EA not to fix that unintentional easter egg (don't call it a glitch): They might just make a bit of money out of it.

There are two donut buildings that can be built on Squidport and Squidport only: The Ferris Wheel and Planet Hype. To me, it never even occured to purchase them, as my Squidport was so crammed with buildings in the first place, that my characters barely had space to walk between them. Now, with enough tiles to make my Squidport as large as I want it to be, I found the perfect spot for the Ferris Wheel and threw the 120 Donuts right at them. (Not much of a chance to see Planet Hype in my Springfield in the near or distant future, though.)

I somewhat doubt I'm the only one who actually spent donuts only because the addittional tiles gave them the opportunity to do so. And even as EA might "lose" its share of donuts from people levelling up faster because of the additional XP, I doubt they will lose more than they gain from the additional donut items sold.

I don't think so, if they wanted to be as coy as that, they would introduce an item that gives significant advantages and benefits if purchased compared to those who don't. Like for example, I've always thought lard lads should produce a small amount of donuts once a fortnight or something like that. Now that would be an obvious benefit to those who purchase it, that's what I mean. (This is not a suggestion Ea)

Though I better make that last part clear, lol
