Please Preserve Pocket Camp!
Dear Nintendo,
We, the dedicated community of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, are writing to express our deep concern, disappointment, and heartbreak regarding the recent announcement to end the current online style of gameplay that has been a cornerstone of our experience for the past seven years.
The Game We Love
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is more than just a game to us—it’s a source of comfort, a way to connect with others, and a platform for creativity and joy. The community that has formed around this game is a testament to its success and significance in our lives. Through fun events, engaging gameplay, and the ability to share our experiences with friends, Pocket Camp has become a beloved part of our daily routines. Changing it now would break the hearts of millions of people who have invested tons of time, money, and effort into creating worlds we cherish.
A Plea for Continuation
The proposed changes threaten to dismantle what makes Pocket Camp so special. The current gameplay model, which allows us to connect and interact with other players as well as enjoy themed online events, is central to our enjoyment. These interactions and events are not just optional features—they are the heart and soul of the game.
We understand the need for innovation, but we believe that this can be achieved without sacrificing the elements that make the game meaningful to so many of us. Instead of ending the current online gameplay, we urge you to consider how you can expand and enhance it, keeping the player base engaged and excited about the future of Pocket Camp.
The Impact of This Change
The current community is devastated and confused by this decision. Many players are seriously considering abandoning the game altogether, which could lead to a significant loss of both active users and revenue. As of 2023, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been a major success, generating over $300 million in revenue since its launch and consistently ranking as one of Nintendo’s top-grossing mobile games. A sudden shift in the gameplay could risk losing the loyalty of this strong and passionate player base, which would generate immense losses for Nintendo.
Our Request
We respectfully request that Nintendo reconsider the decision to drastically change the current online gameplay. Instead of discontinuing the aspects of the game that have made it so successful, we ask that you explore alternatives that allow the game to evolve while retaining the features that have drawn us to it for so many years.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is more than a game—it's a community, a source of comfort, and a cherished part of our lives. We hope that you will listen to our voices and work with us to ensure that this incredible game continues to thrive.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
