I did the same. Apple was happy to refund all of my purchases made in the last 90 days (including both VIP subscription and one-off purchases like diamonds etc), all I did was tell them that the company was not transparent with its players that the game would be shutting down and that I would not have made any of these…
I’m canceling my VIP subscription until this issue is sorted out (thankfully I wasn’t due to be charged for the month until next week), as like many others, I have essentially nothing left to do in the game without SYS & Player’s Choice. Hopefully this really is just a glitch or someone’s screw-up, but if it’s not…money…
I’m not totally convinced that this is the end. In all fairness I have no insider knowledge or any sort of association with Glu so I’m absolutely just theorizing here, but I just don’t think they’d give up on the game when it’s still making them money. Like, sure, they may not have been doing new-new content anymore, but…
