Depending on the business, if a game is causing them more losses than gains, you close it. I say depending because it's less common in a privately held corporation, but in a publicly traded corporation where you have to listen to a board of directors, good luck.

Also it costs a lot more than 100 bucks to publish a game. Good try though.

.. What?
You never saw this coming when the population got cut in half when the random bans started? You didn't see it coming so soon when THAT population got cut in half because they didn't listen or reply to game guard concerns and emails?
Not to mention what was previously stated, the whole "lets make level ups untradable and have more people quit or be even more upset."
This game is special to me, I've played on and off, but I'm surprised it didn't close sooner with all the things they slapped us with, because these weren't the only things they did.

And it isn't rude for people to come in and say "let it go." Do you believe we haven't had our share of grief? We have. Whether a massive amount or just a little bit, we choose to express it in a quiet manner. We don't post all over the forums "WHY GOD, WHY DID YOU TAKE MY BABY?" Letting it go is the only thing you [can] do. It may seem harsh, but it's the truth. We're being honest with you, and I personally hope the people who are grieving about this more than everyone else can come to peace with it soon.

Letting the game go is like the last thing on my mind. I've been gone for almost 5 years and SO MANY THINGS I HAVEN'T DONE.

That's not something you could have helped though. And the internet is not going to take a break to wait for someone to come back and get things done.

Sometimes shit happens that's out of your control and there isn't much you can do about it. Better get on and do what you can now while you're able to.

So the disappearing population, the majority of new content being MyShop items, and the monthly wait between patches wasn't enough to indicate that TO was soon coming to an end?
Ok.

Well, thanks for the link to the app, anyway.

rather than purchasing publishing rights to run it, how about just running a private server?

Welcome to the real world, no company is ever nice just for the sake of being nice.
They want to hoard as much money as they can with minimal loss.
Even if some company decides to donate money to charity you can be sure that it will be only done to get a positive reputation amongst customers.
Sorry to tell you this, but that's how it works
