My wife has been playing this game on her phone for years, and is super sad that they are closing it down. She's probably bought a fair number of "gems" from them too, to beautify her island and trade fruit, I guess.<p>Some of the comments are funny, in a heartbreaking way. People really invested a lot in this game, emotionally and financially. They are wondering who is going to feed the pets they bought to live on their digital island.<p>The funniest/saddest thing about it is that, as a last hurrah, the maintainers of the game gave everyone 10 million gems to spend as they see fit in the remaining 2 months that the game is online. On the one hand, the players are kind of pissed off at the belated awareness that the gems they were hoarding were always fundamentally worthless, but on the other hand they want to buy the final superpet or whatever for their island before the volcano blows up.
