Does anyone else find it strange that Nintendo has decided to stop tending/caring for/updating one of their best selling games of all time after only two years?
Mind you, this isn't meant to be a "I'm not happy with new horizons, I want more updates" type of thread. I'm more asking from the game producers end on why they have chosen to stop updating one of their biggest games after only two years.
A few guesses I have come up with is that perhaps they expect a lot of players will have moved on to other games by now, so they dont find it financially worth it? Though I feel that any update they put out (something more significant than just a couple of new holiday items), is going to draw people back into the game.
Related to the first guess, it could be that they want to dedicate their employees to other games or even start the planning stages for the next animal crossing game (I'm sure it properly takes years from planning to a game's release).
It just seemed strange to me that they'd drop this game after only two years, considering how huge it became
