I get that this sort of post can seem irksome to the old hands that have seen it all before but maybe you might be missing the positive effect that it could have.
By asking the question 2pluss has stimulated an outpouring of "I hope not" responses which shows the devs or beancounters or whoever at EA that there is still a groundswell of support for the game and therefore that it is worth their expense & effort to keep it going.
Maybe if somebody had stirred up a fuss about the Monopoly game that was mentioned in one of the responses then that might have survived also.
At the end of the day, EA are running a (very successful) commercial business which is subject to the laws of supply & demand, the only use they have for sentiment is to generate it in us, their customer base, so that we continue to support their product, in this case TSTO.
So for the record, whoever is listening...I personally love this game, I still play this game and I would dearly love for it to continue indefinitely.
Thanks for listening.
