@Petri ā¦ While I know that you are all busy, is there any way to calm the nerves of some of the players who feel the game will close completely soon?
@Staff_SGG This forum needs some idea of what to believe due to so many rumors. Alot of us still love this game and the community but feel in limbo.
I said it before and Iāll say it again. They seems to be dumping everything at such a fast pace to make as much profits on everything before they go belly up. They want every last penny before they say adios.
This is exactly what people sometimes donāt realise ā¦ Alll Sgg staff have a job I doubt they want it to go under and be unemployed and start Somthing else from strach expecially with Mobile games are everywhereā¦ Sure they still have Puzzle combat I doubt that gets the same revenue as empiresā¦
The gameās not going anywhere any time soon. SG is just trying to increase revenue as much as possible before the last payout since they are paid based on a percentage of that. Itās why they care so little about game balance right now. If the game is a complete mess after the payout, thatās Zyngaās problem, not SGs. No way that Zynga just lets the game die though. Theyāll run it as long as itās profitable to do so. They might not invest much new into it though, so they could wind up managing the game the same way a New York super manages a rent controlled apartment. Basically the bare minimum required to keep money flowing.
It may end up in a very similar way comparing to Plants vs Zombies.
Huge success when game first launched in 2009 by PopCap. EA then bought PopCap in 2011 for $750m. Kicked out the two founders (maybe three) of PopCap in 2014 and took over the game development themselves.
The game has never regained its popularity since then, but hey it is still around even today.
2022 is a bit too soon to shut down the game, there is still s5 on the horizon. Iād expect by the end of 2023 the soonest when they have milked enough.
But any comment from the staff would be welcomedā¦
As I can see, this is your 6th or 7th topic adressing SGG, and all about the same thingā¦ People are leaving the game, Zynga is going shut down the game, BIG THINGS behind the curtainā¦ and all I can see is that all of that is based on your personal viewā¦ No facts , no officialy statementsā¦ just your speculationsā¦
Alsoā¦. They devs not fortune tellers
They cannot answer how long a game will be around.
Nobody buys into a massively profitable game to then destroy it. Also, zynga is not really known for getting rid of games. All their games are still around.
If anything Stuff like this will make the dev not care and feel unappreciated and not like their job. That will make things bad.
Sheesh the way some ppl are acting makes me wanna āaccidentally put the wrong quest outā lol (I donāt think they did that on purpose at alll. I think when the update came out the quest reset to 1. Which was blue and since almost all quest are random they just forgot to tell it too go to 5). But either way. My point is. If they Keep it up. yeah youāll distroy the game we all love.
