Probably part of the agreement was that they cannot advertise for Droid's key competitor (Apple). So they just yanked it without warning. I doubt that anything else not listed as limited time will be pulled.i really cant believe that is the reason.. once mapple is a computer store, made by Matt Groening and his team. Otherwise, they should remove homer´s "mypad" task.Cool brown house dont have anything that competes with android and apple and was removed too..some itens are there for limited time. I really dont think that some android user could complain about mapple is looking like apple.

I really dont think that some android user could complain about mapple is looking like apple. Cool Brown House was a give away. The Mapple store was a pseudo-premium item. Cost donuts; but didn't have premium payout.And I doubt Google demanded the removal of the Mapple Store for competitive reasons. If that was the case, it would have been gone before the droid rollout; and quite possibly never release to us.

The Funzos and Try N Save are both still there. It is only the Mapple store that was removed, which is strange. It was still there after the update.

How much where the charging for the mapple store?

While "Mapple" is a parody to Apple, it doesn't make sense that Android users wouldn't have access to it for this reason. If this were true, the myPad task of Homer's would have to be changed, along with the myPad questline. I doubt Google would have thrown a tantrum and demand EA drop the Mapple store, and if they had I'm sure that hissy fit would have included changing myPad to anPad or something Androidesque.. I don't really see EA losing potential players due to the Mapple store, although some hardcore Apple-haters out there may refuse to buy the thing, big whoop. It's weird and doesn't make much sense, but the Android version is still new so a lot of things about it are going to be weird and not make much sense (no origin access, for example) until EA figures out what they are doing with that version of the game.

Not exactly true. The Mapple Store could be bought for donuts a month after the Christmas event ended.

Yeah it sucks that TSTO wasn't released on Android until February of 2013. Too bad we weren't playing a game unavailable on our devices.

I have never seen the Mapple store in any of the 3 towns I have played.

The mapple store and try and save are both gone from the android version.

Yeah because you can't "try n save" once you have an iPhone. Your life and money gone. Lol

The could have created a Mandroid store for Android users. I know that's not from an episode, but... Google play store is much less restrictive than Apple. I doubt they would tell a major company like EA to remove "Mapple" from a game already as popular The Simpsons.

I don't feel like searching for the posts, but I remember several people who are on android that were able to get both the stores....You had to be quick if I remember, most people (with android) at the time were starting at the begining and were not far along in their quest lines.....There have been several people who posted screenshots with a Mapple store on their androids.....

And we all know that no one using android hacks their game to get ltd time items...

Android users were able to get the Mapple store legit for a few days/week before it was pulled.
