It's always sad to see a community you like disappear, but I think it's a good lesson when freemium games with in-game purchasing go away. It's an evil, terrible model that uses psychological trickery to slowly milk enormous amounts of money from people. Losing that should make everyone think twice before falling for that trick again. At least with a monthly pay-as-you-go model, you don't feel like you're investing in an asset. When a free game gets you to spend hundreds of dollars on cosmetic trinkets, you feel like you're buying something permanent.
