sad days been a player of TSTO since day 1

its sad to hear these new that they are shutting down this game. I thought this game was still pretty popular and fun to play.

i downloaded this game on a work trip when it was launched 12 years ago on the first day.  It kept me occupied.  i got many co workers hooked on it.. friends hooked on it.  i also did spend some money on it.  here and there. 

its been a fun ride.  I guess we got a few months to build out the town to way we want to see it..  and hopefully we can make a video and take photos of our towns.  

i will really miss the Halloween events and especially the winter events with the snow. flying santa and all that.  

i hope if this is in regards to a licesne agreement perhaps EA will be able to renew it or maybe whoever takes over the IP license will buy the rights to the game from EA and keep it running.

    I am really sad. It's 3 am and I cannot sleep. I can't believe how much this game has a hold on me. Call me pathetic, but it shows how much this game means to me. I've been playing this game since March 2012. Almost everyday. It has gotten me through some tough times in my life. 

    EA, I implore you make this game playable offline.  Thanks

    honestly i think someone got it spot on .. their license agreement must have ended with Disney/Fox/Simpsons and they cant afford the license fees or dont want to renew. i really hope someone takes over the game.  theres alot of passionate players for this game. 

     

    and you're right.  honestly.  ive been logging into this game daily for last 12 years. its become a routine and source of familiarity and comfort.

      EA should weigh any licensing fees against the projection of revenue from so many of us saying in just 3 days that we will gladly pay to keep our game even offline with no new events, characters or inventory.

      I would gladly pay a  monthly or annual subscription to keep my game as-is, 10+ years of loving this game.

    Gutted. There is no other game like it. The family guy one is absolutely rubbish constantly crashes and wipes almost all (if not all of) your progress after every crash. 

    Always the way. Things that are unique and interesting get wiped while 1000 near identical boring games constantly coming out. 😞

    It was a great run. I’ve been playing since 2013. I think I spent a total of about $25 on the game in the past 11 years. Can’t beat that for a completely ad free game. Some great events. Some not so great. Still had a blast. I’ll continue playing until the end.

    Smell you later!

    i guess one good thing i suppose is that i can update my computer now.. since ive been running bluestacks so i could play on my computer with the giant screen.. and the new OS doesnt support blue stack.  but i guess i can do updates after january
