I cannot believe this game is ending
12 years. I have been this game playing this game since the beginning, through every event. I have also spent money on it occasionally over the years and I have built a town I'm very proud of and loved seeing every day. I was even making plans for big renovations to my town now that I finally have the Golden Goose after having missed out on it all the times it was available before. But you're going to tell me that not only will there be no more updates, you're also going to take my town away from me? You're not going to let me continue to access it for at least a few more years before you destroy it and everybody else's towns? And what was even the point in giving us 960 new land tokens to just end it all a few months later?
I am immensely saddened that this game is ending but I am also livid with rage that you would take this game away from us so suddenly and so abruptly. Sure, maybe some would think there's no point in playing a game that no longer receieves any updates, but there are people besides me who were no doubt also working on their towns and enjoyed this aspect of it, and you've just robbed us all of a little joy in our lives and of being able to complete our plans.
There are words I can't say about this whole thing, but ultimately, this is a gut punch to all the players, both the long time ones and the ones who have not been playing as long. In fact, it's more than a gut punch, it's soul crushing because that's what a lot of people have put into this game - heart and soul. This was MY town, and you're taking it away without any thought or care to me or any of the other players who will feel this loss so deeply.
The least you could have done was keep the servers going for a few years and also bring back everything that's ever been in the game so that people can continue to play and build a town they're proud of and can remember by taking a screenshot of it. The decision to close this game forever in just a few months (no doubt by the bigwigs up top who don't care about us one bit) is a shameful and appalling way to treat the no doubt millions of fans and players around the world.
And don't tell me EA doesn't have enough money to keep the servers running, because they absolutely do.
