I am not sure but I don't think Alissa at tstoaddicts is an insider over at Disney/Fox or has seen the contract between EA and The Simpsons. That article is her opinion. The Simpsons is now officially the IP (intellectual property) of Disney and if Disney chooses to pull the plug on that contract for whatever reasons they see fit, I am pretty sure that Disney will out muscle EA 8 days a week.

I did not think that the merger would impact this game, I still hope that the merger is not impacting the game, but now you'd have to wonder.

You really have no clue how the corporate world and licensing agreements work do you?

Disney does not OWN EA. It is a LICENSING agreement. Family Guy is still getting updates. Explain that.
EA still has Star Wars games. Maybe when those agreements expire, Disney may (but probably won't) do something. But right now, they don't have anything to do with this. Please take your conspiracies elsewhere.

To make this simple for you guys to understand better: Disney has nothing to do with this game at all or any mobile games (EA or not) at all. They only focus on TV shows and Movies....that is all they care about, period.

We just don't know why we have lack of updates in the game. All we can guess that EA is just sorting out the issue with the recent layoffs early winter or taking the time to fix the bugs in the game (although they would be too busy to do that), or testing the new updates to avoid the bugs. Perhaps they are doing some new kinda gameplay as well. It can be any of those reasons.

EA had been going crazy with update after update during 2016, 2017, and 2018 without a single break in between.

Moving on :)

Yeah, but when does it run out? They don't have to renew the contract.

You're just moving the goal posts. The point is the licensing agreements have NOT expired.

This has nothing to do with Disney, Fox or any of that. If anyone has been following gaming news lately, many big studios have been laying off people due to bad sales, poor games and other pandering behavior that have alienated them from their core fans.

Bethesda, Blizzard, EA and a few other companies were amongst the one effected by this. The layoffs are far reaching and I’m guessing it reached EA’s mobile game division. Maybe they’re reorganizing to run a slimmer, more efficient ship. Perhaps the damage was great enough that we won’t be seeing some of their games anymore. At this point, it’s nothing more than conjecture. All I know is, from the sounds of it, it doesn’t sound like it’ll blow over anytime soon. What this means for TSTO is open to anyone’s guess.

We’ll know more in a couple of weeks when EA releases their year end financial results.

Do you know when they expire though?

Moving the goal posts again. You don't know anything and it's time for you to shut up. How many times do people have to flag you to get that across? Don't bother answering, welcome to a long overdue ignore.
