No More Majestic

Despite a good deal of press after its launch in July, and an attempt to release a cd version, EA announced that it will shut down the game on April 30th. Seems like nobody wants to play a game where you get freaky faxes and scary phonecalls in the middle of the night. Instead, EA is going to focus on "new, more popular content" -- seems like a much better idea that "old, unpopular content", but then again, what do I know?Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
