Since I was a child Hasbro has been a toy company. It is probably more diverse now but I am wondering with Toys R US and Baby's R Us closing most or all of their stores if Hasbro just decided to cut products where they could to keep them going longer. They probably never should have bought DV. I have been playing since the game was a month or so old and DV was one of the most popular games listed on the the Apple APP store. I know the past few years I have resisted purchasing event stuff because it seemed like the events were often designed around spending serious money and If a lot of players did this also may be the reason they chose to sunset DV. Today's games should be self supporting  by using the ads and any purchases should be just extra profit. This game has gotten so big that it barely runs on my IPAD Air 64 GB that will be a year old in a month so I was trying to figure out how to quit anyway. Still have 2 islands left to purchase was scared it would make the game unplayable. No worries now about the game getting larger.

I have enjoyed the creativity of those developers and graphic artists and all the other creative people at DV. AS a software engineer I was always solving data problems or workflow issues and never got to do anything this visibly creative. Good luck to all of those now out of work.
