A few months ago, Jonathan Dodd and Matt Edmondson set up an EA Game Changers group for RR3. They selected a group of players to participate in discussions on the future directions of the game, among other things.

While I am not at liberty to discuss specifics until they are officially announced, I can assure you that based on these discussions that Firemonkeys has no intention of stopping development of RR3 in the foreseeable future.

They have also explained why some of the recent updates have taken the tack that they have and why some of the features that were a part of the game in prior years were put on hold, and they were reasonable explanations and made sense. Businesses don't always have the luxury to make the decisions that are the most popular with their customers, but customers don't get to see a lot of the information that goes into making those decisions.

Matt, Jay and their team are committed to improving the product that they provide to their players and are working very hard to improve the player experience of RR3 and bring new content to the game where it makes sense. They are also listening intently to all of our constructive feedback. They can't always act on it, for many reasons, but they are trying their best to bring what players want to the game. And they don't have the easiest job in the world. As has been said, this is a very large and mature software product. There are many decisions that were made in prior years that were not sustainable and had to be removed.

Changes don't happen overnight. We look update to update, where as the developers have a roadmap for the game that goes out to 2021 and beyond. Trying to take the pulse of the game with any one update or WTTT participation is a very myopic view of its health or its future direction.

I cannot assure you that as an individual player you won't feel like things are getting worse in the coming months, but I think that many players will enjoy the game as it evolves in the next year or two. Some will chose to leave the game, but FM is trying to bring an enjoyable product to the players, one that people are willing to invest time and money into to keep being developed into the future.
