    True. I remember Josh saying just this. Still, as I got the Cool Brown House I'm glad he was right.

    So then they amended their claim to be that episode tie-in limited time things wouldn't return. I kept telling them that's stupid and if EA wants to make money, they'll bring it back. Then episode tie-in limited time things came back.

    Thanks for reminding EA how to make money. I'm pretty sure they had forgotten.

    I didn't remind EA. I reminded the people on this board who refused to accept that they are not going to be a part of an exclusive club forever and that EA will re-sell the items because EA wants to make money. Not sure how you messed that up.

    The only item likely to remain "exclusive" is the Mapple Store and only because of the reasons previously discussed.

    Mapple Store will not only be released, but will cost 200 - 250 donuts. It costs EA exactly ZERO to release it, and now it's merely a case of how long they wait to max out the price they can charge. Why on earth would they pass up the possibility of making a pile of money with absolutely no effort? At absolutely no cost to them?

    Fear of ticking off a lot of people who already bought the bulk of premium items? Respect? Altruism ain't their strong suit, and customer satisfaction isn't even in their vocabulary.

    The word "profit" IS their vocabulary. Just the one word.

    They're just biding their time until the moment is right. ;)

    The lesson to take away from all of this? I'm always right. Don't argue with me and you'll never go wrong.

    Awesome! Who will win the 2015 Super Bowl? I am going to Vegas and want to know which team to bet on. Since you are always right, I will make a killing!

    Wrong. The Mapple Store is never coming back. It was not a limited time item. It was an ordinary permanent item that was pulled for unmentioned reasons right as the game was going to the Android. They pulled it and will not bring it back.

    It's uncanny that someone posted a pic of Joffrey ;) just another 'King' that everyone tolerated and, although they wouldn't wish it on him, were still pleased as punch to see gone.

    I haven't been around on the forum long enough to comment on your self-proclaimed awesomeness but I will say that as far as stirring controversy goes you are second to none!

    Is this how happy you are right now? It feels nice, yes?

    People told kept telling me limited time things would never come back. I kept saying limited time =\= one time only. I was proven right.

    Countless people made the same observation.

    The valet will bring your bandwagon around to the front.

    And there are plenty who felt they wouldn't return. I've been very vocal and fighting against those people. I was pretty much one of the first to fight it. Don't be jealous.
