Thanks to this buy out Wonderhill decided to close Green Spot and Enchanted Gardens down. This has angered and hurt a lot of thier 2 million users many of which spent a lot of money and not to mention time on the game. I am personally shocked at this decision. Even though I understand the business world I don’t understand how they think these users will ever trust them again.
The thing that gets me the most is that no one cares about these people who are flesh and blood.
