Long time players, how long will you stick around with no new stuff??

So the dialog isn't "new content" for you? Seems new to me. I think of this game as an interactive comic strip. I read all the dialog and enjoy it. The items offered are also limited releases. So their return is welcome by people who have none to spare, and enjoy designing.

Collection of new items is just one facet of this game. Those fixated on it are obviously missing out on a lot of fun, at least judging from the excessive whine spilled lately
