This game was mad popular, I mean MAD popular, but then all of a sudden nobody is playing it and nobody is talking about it.

What happened?

Isn't that the route almost every phone-game takes? Except Angry Birds, how many of these "mad popular" games have we not seen only to be forgotten immediately again? Tiny Tower, Draw Something, Triple Town, etc etc.

Wasn't there some backlash after they were bought by Zynga...

i still play it but there is nothing much to talk about.

what can you say? OMG they nerfed the red!!

Last I heard, CBS was making a TV show out of it.

They increased the repair cost on the hardest difficulty and now the hardcore drawers are pissed.

After the Zynga picked them up and some of the team members quit because of that one of the head guys basically trashed his former employees. So, basically huge PR fallout because the people who make the game are apparently douchebags.

@HarlechQuinn: Yes but most people outside of the loop will have had no idea that happened, which is the majority of their audience.

I was under the impression that plenty of people still play it (though the numbers did drop off) but nobody talks about it anymore because it's not new. I think it's limited number of words made the heavy players get tired of drawing the same things over and over so they stopped playing. What's left is the casual player who isn't as likely to be vocal about what they're playing.

The only reason it because popular was because it was a fad. And fads tend to fade out almost as quickly as they start. Give it a month or so and a new game will inevitably pop up that rides the same wave.

People stopped playing it.

A week was enough for me to be bored, there was too many repeats.

most of my friends started way to many games with people and it then became a chore so they just stopped playing all together.

i still play with a few friends though, its still great imo
