I've linked to Nintendo's statement in the description and also my discord for any pocket camp players looking for a community to enjoy the last few months together. Im so sorry everyone, im so heartbroken 💖 I'll release more news and videos as things unfold
@@OttawaInHD I'm not sure yet! We have to wait for October for details. But I'm hoping they'll all be available throughout November and then also for bells when the new app is released 🤞
To be fair, a game can’t get new content indefinitely, and New Horizons is in a pretty decent state, I’d recommend restarting your island. If you really need to fill the void, you could play some of the older games, either via emulation or you could pick up a secondhand Wii or something, which at least where I live, is only around £30.
Ross Scott (aka Accursed Farms) is currently running an EU government petition to outlaw the practice of killing games like this. I'd recommend looking into it if you're an EU citizen, and I hope it comes to pass because it's always heartbreaking to see stories like these where a game with a thriving community that so many people worked hard to create just gets completely destroyed because the multi-billion dollar corporation behind it couldn't be bothered to give the players some way to keep enjoying it after they end support.
Some games are killed to make room for future games. My only example I can think of is Kingdom Hearts Union X was technically killed (because the game had cut scenes that are still visible) off to make room for Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link. No server has infinite data to always keep updating. Also if a game goes too long without updating, then people will get bored and more to another phone game.
@@spottedtimeThe argument isn't that corporations should be forced to host these games on their servers forever. It's that no game should ever be wiped from existence. Many older multiplayer games are still alive and active to this day because the devs implemented the ability for their players to host their own servers. Right now, you could go out and find a copy of the original Unreal Tournament-a game published in 1999-and punch in a community server IP to hop into a game. Epic Games have completely abandoned this title and you'd have to either find a secondhand copy or sail the high seas, but if you find a copy, you can still boot it up and play it just like you could when it was being supported. It used to be the standard for games to have an end of life plan like that. Also, your argument of "we need to destroy old games to make room for new ones" is honestly dystopian and I'm not sure if you realize it. Imagine if we burned rare old books in libraries to make room on the shelves for fresh publications. Imagine if we shredded the Mona Lisa because the museum walls only have a finite amount of space. Imagine if an automotive company repoed your car to melt down because they "needed more metal to make new cars", then made you pay full price for the new car that they made with your old car that you bought. I'd really recommend you watch Ross Scott's videos on the Stop Killing Games campaign. He even made a shorts version explaining his main goals if your attention span isn't there for the 30 minute manifesto.
They are giving a way to keep enjoying the game after ending service though? The one time purchase paid offline version of said game that even allows you to use your save data from the online version. The only difference being no online connectivity, but youll still be able to enjoy the game, crafting furniture, decorating and ofc befriending animals. And im sure that it will still have monthly events it will cycle through so you can collect the 7yrs worth of stuff theyve built up.
So many years and now it’s all ending, it is so sudden and so sad. I loved the social interaction of this game and all the beautiful content each month they release. No other game will compare ever again, this was so fun and exciting each month, sneak peeks etc. Definitely fun while it lasted, there will be no replacement that will come close to this. I was so looking forward to the Halloween, anniversary and Christmas events. No more together events either 😢
It's not profiting enough, which is why Fire Emblem Heroes is staying because it brings in millions. Also the Switch predecessor will be announced at the end of the fiscal quarter which was confirmed by the CEO. Sadly, this is it. It's been fun, but we all know how Nintendo is, lol.
NOOOO!:( i saw this when I got up ! So glad this game got supported for this long! RIP ACPC:( 2017-2024:( The longest supported updated game yet will finally die off:( i will miss this game sooooooooooooo much:( Good things come to an end eventually:(.
@@juliestasha2919they are making a new game one time paid where you will be able to log in in your nintendo account, im not sure but very likely you will have the items you bought already and probably your friends but not your leaf tickets because finally this ugly sistem is over!
@@ChunLi3292 yeah it would be nice but this is really classic Nintendo 💔 At least with the paid app they're making it's an option to save all our stuff instead of just deleting the app like most mobile games would do 😔 still hurts tho
@@acpc_lynthat's true, about being able to save your stuff on the new app but also 🫠 the new app is gonna be priced, so if someone can't afford to pay for this new version then all of its gone anyways! I haven't played ACPC in a while so thankfully this isn't a massive blow personally (still really sad)
This was my introduction to the series when I was around six. I got the game at release and would play it quite often, until I got a DS, and played New Leaf. I don’t play it anymore, but it’s kinda sad to see it go, at least in the state I started it in. I had a full on hyperfixation/special interest around it until I was about eleven, so it’s very closely tied to my childhood.
I really am sorry to see this go. I've been playing it since release day.. and it was something I looked forward to getting on my phone for during so many trying situations over the years. I'll miss it SO much. I know it'll be transitioning to a paid app but we don't know how much progress will be transferred over.. the idea of losing all those items I worked at for over the years is pretty upsetting. x_x
So, with the new platform that you can transfer your data to, will they continue to put out new events? Also, how will the fortune cookies, terrains and special furniture/clothes be able to be bought, would we have to use bells for them?
@@Trevor-o7f that's a really good question! Unfortunately we're not quite sure yet, we'll have to wait until October when they release more statements and details 😔
What a great present for someone whos golden birthday is November 29th 😭😭😭 I haven’t been on the game in like a year but I’ve poured a lot of money into it over the years so I’m gonna hop back on for the last three months to get my moneys worth 😪
WHATTTTTTTTT?? nooo I deleted it a few months ago due to storage but im diffenally bringing it back! I just to play this game alot on my samsung tablet untill it wasn't available I was so sad abt it as soon as I got an (used) new phone witch only lasted 3 months untill now im on my current phone, I starting playing since the second year the game launch and love it so much
im guessing its probbaly because of the loot boxes, and people seem to be cracking down on it akin to gambling (ill be honest the fortune cookie boxes used to draw me in with spending more than in proud of......) And almost everyone i was friends with stoppedplaying a year or so ago, so i dont even get that online cinnection aynore. I just hope to gods the save transfer works
It's so sad that this game will come to an end :( .I used to play this all the time with my brother and friends all the time since none of us could afford new horizons.I hope the new game will just be paid no in game purchases version of pocket camp and not complete garbage.
@@NicoNicoNessieSub I think they want to let current players keep their time and money invested instead of causing backlash. It also acts as kind of a passive source of income for Nintendo that they won't have to actively update monthly like they do now. I'm pleasantly surprised too tho! It's like a silver lining
I’m an asocial gamer and I hate microtransactions so the one time paid version of pocket camp with no social features or microtransactions sounds like something I’d actually enjoy vs pocket camp as it is now
i've had pocket camp since release- however, it was never actually available in my country and now i don't know if i can ever get the upcoming paid one :")
I'm going to play this now that it's coming out of free to play status. I've been interested in this game but I don't support live service schemes so this is good news to me.
I remember playing this more or less daily when I started and I think was on it for a few months but after a while I've stopped playing it because it felt a bit pointless plus it was very much _pay now to get this real cool thing for your camp_ which got distasteful overtime, but it was pretty chill ngl hopefully from the service being shut down means they're actually gonna do something with the series in general on consoles after how acnh got abandoned after the free update and HHP 😂
This makes no sense unless Nintendo plans to make a successor to this and/or New Horizons. The bad ending would be Nintendo retiring Animal Crossing permanently.
If you want this to stay, doing a lot of in-game purchases could mayyyyyybe change Nintendo's mind. Maybe. It probably won't work though, so don't quote me on that. Organizing a protest probably won't do much, but you can try! I have fond memories of Pocket Camp, but maybe this'll help me get back into it
@@Luke-ts8ck I totally understand what you're saying! It's nice to think that a show of good faith in Nintendo by giving them money and showing them how much money they could get by keeping the game live but they've probably been seeing a steady decline in monthly revenue for a while which prompted them to make a decision like this, so it would be hard to change their minds with that kind of protest 😮💨 🫂 You should come back! Enjoy the last few months online with friends and have a memory of it with the app later
I KNEW this was going to happen... These sort of games are NEVER sustainable, NEVER give any money out to anything like this, no matter how cute - because you'll eventually lose what you had and it's always ridiculously expensive!
@@d-padqueen1103 this is actually one of the very few instances where it will let you save everything at the end-of-service. That's been the silver lining to this all. There's a lot of us that have spent a lot of money and time and we're going to be able to access it with the offline app they're making.
@@babycatto173 you think so? I always assumed they had different teams, scopes and direction for both games. Regardless, Nintendo has been letting down every Animal Crossing franchise.

They are horrible
Pocket Camp was the safe space to go back to between console releases. Idk how to feel about the new antisocial paid version of this game.
