This looks like Matt Selman says TSTO continues

I hope it's true :)

That’s awesome news. Hopefully this will put a lot of people’s minds at ease.

I was quite surprised to get a response from Matt. Plus he got back to me pretty quickly too, which was a bonus.

I’m a long time lurker on these forums and rarely post, but I had to share this news with you all. Here’s hoping we get an update next week. In the meantime I’ll keep chipping away at the yearbook prizes. Cheers

Well if he's still writing for the game he should know but his reply in itself is cryptic. Why not expand that statement if you are willing and able to reply in the first place? :/

I agree it would have been nice if he had done that. From a scan of his twitter feed, his replies to questions tend to be very very quick and brief. I guess that's what we're getting. :/

It helps that @slab11 's tweet said it's been "weeks without an update". I think Selman was replying to that. (a girl can dream, I guess)

Seems to me that employees of EA are all under some sort of gagging order! :|

I was amused to see that Selman's tweet was also sent to EAHelp, since slab11 had originally named them in his list of recipients. Gotta wonder what the poor unsuspecting person at the help desk will think he/she is supposed to do with that info.

I hate to be the party pooper here, BUT one reply from someone on the team doesn’t automatically mean things are on the up and up. Game developers can scrap an update even during production.
Case in point: Rockstar Games did this with GTA V and the notorious story mode DLC lie. They even had the actors who play the protagonists come in to do scenes for what they thought would be a DLC update and they posted pictures on social media, getting fans excited — however, that was all for nothing because Rockstar Games and their parent company, 2K Games decided GTA Online was more important. The DLCs got scrapped, despite the fact they were mid production. Needless to say, I’ve boycotted Rockstar and 2K games for that and so have a lot of people I personally know. Game developers get a bit too greedy to appease stockholders. If they’re more important than the fans who built these franchises, then let those stockholders buy their games. But that’s a whole different rant.
Anyways, I hope this means the game will continue, but until it happens, I’m skeptical. Game development companies are hard to trust these days.

Oh goody! This should keep the forum hopping for at least a week!
I say a week because people will still comment on this thread for days after we get an update.
