User blog:CCMurf Punk/Canyons?, The Dream is Over

I may regret this blog post later but here it goes; In case you haven't seen Ask Marc 66, The dream that some day in the near future the canyons will finally be done, has come to an end. The Devs have finally announced that they have de-prioritized(abandoned) the canyons.

Drew said we're gonna love the stuff they have coming instead of canyons (including a new game mode and car classes), but I don't think I can take another second of new Premium cars and looking at the same scenery every single time I play. How can you be impressed by Palmont when you've been to it more often then your local supermarket.

Note, this is a personal blog post, not an announcement, so the next three paragraphs are all about me

I'm not gonna quit, but I will no longer play regularly. I'll stay in the wiki and do my best. But as a gamer who loves in-game worlds, I am very upset about this. As are many long time players. I've been here since 2010 and I've been on the wiki since last October. I have made over 2,412 edits, contributed the last 200 days in a row, made almost 1000 posts in ea World forums (on my current forum account alone), spent a lot of boost on cars I love or made NFS Classics from...... all for my love of this game and NFS. All I ever really wanted from this game's development, was the Canyons.

Now with no real future and a lot of hours each day lost to college life, I will now play my other games instead of World. GTA V will bring us Los Santos sometime soon, MW 2012 will take us to Fairhaven, SimCity next year will take me to worlds that I can create myself. I have not left World, I have not left this wiki, and I'm not raging or looking for sympathy or attention. I'm just bored of the game and.....


 * ...... disappointed to see EA once again show their lack of passion for their games (in my opinion) and their never-ending quest for more profits. I know some money needs to be made to pay for what they give us, but the balance between game quality and profit has tilted way too far into the profit direction (unnecessarily imo). They have plenty of money, but still want more.
