    I have to imagine the game is no longer making enough money through MTX to staff a dev team anymore.

    This seems like a pretty good way to end a live service game, though. This way your game doesn’t just disappear into the ether completely.

      That was the most logical answer I came up too. Its just crazy to do the right thing and make if work offline instead of just binning it like so many other live service games.

      I mean, I never paid for it but I did the math many years ago, to explain predatory microtransactions, and found out that for a chance - a perfect rolled no dupes chance - it’d be cheaper to buy a 2DS and a physical copy of new leaf.

      Like, there’s only so many times they can release a set or do a palette swap for a ‘new’ collection.
