It would be cool if instead of killing the product, they give it to the current developers to keep it alive as a small independent business.


For some games sure, but for this game there’s almost certainly a licensing issue.


No doubt. But if the licensees still get a cut and the work is already done then everybody wins.

And you have to disable them one at a time. Absolutely wild.


Well, the game hasn't been good anymore since season 9
