Please describe how it "appears" to be winding down. I'm not seeing this.

Events went from being full, mini, full etc to mini mini mini
No new content in events
Wholesale dumping of old items at deep discount
Mechanisms in place to get land and donuts easily
No attention to glitches and crashes, even less than the usual
NDA group, set up by EA now ignored
Radio silence on all social media platforms
Missing Easter / St Pats etc. There is a record of occasionally skipping one or other, but everything is being skipped.
Out of ideas floated in game dialogue

Its a pattern, consistent with other games in the past of the end being near. Look at the comments, people are bored and leaving. Down the road there will be one or two people here at a time instead of dozens. An end game announcement in January would have sparked outrage. The same after a couple more months of attrition will be no big deal.

I for one feel that the base has to speak out. Only if there can be brand damage if the game ends will they consider that. If there was not an issue, by now something would have leaked. EA is locked down silent, and it would be improbable that they are if they are hiding a huge new event for a years old game. They are probably debating how/when to pull the plug. Intervention will only succeed before that decision, not after.

I also doubt that the writers will know they are out of work before it happens. That's not how it works in the corporate world. Mushroom treatment until door is slammed.
