Simpson Tapped Out ending

Many people have paid a lot of money to EA to play Simpsons tapped out and to have a situation where those purchases cannot be used after January 2025 is totally unacceptable. If EA have  any sort of professional customer service ethics they should develop a way for Simpsons tapped out to be played offline with the caveat that there will be no further game development or updates. 

A very poor current state of play!!!!

    Why bother giving us all these free donuts to decorate our towns and not let us have access to it after January 2025?  All of us take time and effort to create our towns. It is a labor of love to make it visually appealing.  I have put in countless days...years, in rearranging my town to make it look nice. 

    I hope EA will do right by us and give us an offline mode.

    A few weeks ago EA were taking money on tapped out then now say in January sorry it’s useless to use and will not work. How on earth does a retailer deem that acceptable and appropriate business practice!

  • I agree with you! I would also like not to lose my job; 12 years and being left with nothing in hand, it's not nice!

  • I agree completely. My husband and I have been playing for years and put our own money into buying the donuts for all the cool stuff. I have been saving my donuts since last year because I was anticipating a Halloween event. Now I find out that I’m going to lose everything after January? Why get rid of the game? Why can’t we just playing it offline? I’d buy a copy of it for PC and play it on my laptop. This is such a slap in the face to all the players who started years ago. It’s pointless to give us all these donuts if we’re going to lose everything anyway.

      I have been playing this game daily 2 to 3 times a day since 2013, it's part of my morning routine (having trouble breaking the habit now).  Odd thing is now, each time I play it I am just thinking I am full on wasting my time now, I mean yeah, I would like them to make it available offline so we could still pointlessly play it purely out of habit or just rearrange our towns with the understanding that there will be nothing new (I wouldn't actually mind that).  But in the knowledge that come 25 January 2025 we won't even have access to it, it makes me wonder what is the actual point.  Why is EA bothering to bring back stuff from years ago, when in a couple of months it will be completely gone

        Up until a few weeks ago EA were still actively charging a lot of money to purchase premium game content knowing that in a few months it cannot be used. I have made a complaint about this and may well follow up !

    Agreed with all of the above, keep this game going!! Or sell rights and transfer data to another company, keep servers up with no or rehashed updates, make it available offline.  Our cities are not too big, downloads do not take too long, fans still love and want this game
