EE IS[N'T ACTUALLY] DOOMED.

So I just got these e-mails:

▼Update on Backend Services Transition from Yahoo and Brian Meidell

Our Valued Developer,

Yahoo would like to share some information with you about the recent purchase of the Yahoo Games Backend Services by The Games Platform Company and it’s founder, Brian Meidell. We are sending you this email to provide you with some important information directly from Brian:

Dear developers on the Yahoo Games Backend Services,

We are happy to have the opportunity to take over the Yahoo Games Backend Services and will continue to operate them as a standalone service under the Player.IO brand, focused on making games developers’ lives easier.

We recognize the incredible technical foundation of the platform, and the work done by Yahoo, but also look forward to making updates to areas where modernization is needed. As we work on creating a long-term plan for bringing the platform fully up to modern standards, we would appreciate your feedback. To let us know which areas to focus our efforts please contact us at [email protected].

As a part of the transition, and to ensure the long-term future of the platform, we're reinstating a pay-for-what-you-use pricing model. More details about the plans are available now on http://gamesplatform.co/pricing.htm You can email me directly at [email protected] with any questions about specific account usage and billing going forward.

We hope that all current customers join us as we continue the legacy of Player.IO. For any customers who aren’t planning to transition, and would like to opt-out of having data transferred to us, please contact [email protected] before May 9, 2016 with your request to delete your available data or have it exported to you. Please note that this will terminate your service when the Yahoo Games Network is closed.

The future is bright!

Thanks,
Brian Meidell
CEO, The Games Platform Company

Finally, Yahoo would like to thank you all for allowing us to work with you to build and grow your games and businesses. We are sad to be exiting Yahoo Games, but also look forward to watching your continued success.

All the best,
The Yahoo Games Team

▼THE GAMES PLATFORM COMPANY BUYS YAHOO GAMES BACKEND SERVICES

Dear Yahoo Games Network Developer,

As we announced last month, our new strategy at Yahoo includes a more narrow focus on our core businesses. With that in mind, we’ve taken a hard look at our existing products and services and made the difficult decision to exit Yahoo Games and the related Yahoo Games Backend Services.

To ensure that the talented developers on our platform can continue to entertain your users and grow your businesses, we have reached an agreement with The Games Platform Company (GPC) to purchase the Yahoo Games Backend Services and will be transitioning the services to them over the next 30 days. We will complete the transition no earlier than May 9, 2016 and will notify you when it has been completed. Once the transition is complete, your agreement with us under the Yahoo Games Network TOS will terminate.

We’re very pleased to have found a company like GPC and it’s founder, Brian Meidell, who will be dedicated to maintaining and investing in improvements upon the platform so it continues to perform for developers. We chose Brian because as a long-time user himself, we’re confident he will provide ongoing support for the platform and your needs.

Ensuring that your use of the backend services goes uninterrupted is important to us. In order to do that, unless you opt out by taking the steps outlined below, Yahoo will be transferring your data to GPC. Once the transfer is complete, your data will be governed by GPC’s privacy policy. If you choose to continue using the backend services, GPC is currently proposing to offer the services pursuant to these terms.

If you do not wish to have your data transferred to GPC, you must notify Yahoo at [email protected] by May 9, 2016, of your desire to opt-out. You may also manually delete or use the same email to request for Yahoo to export your available data to you from the Yahoo Games Backend Services prior to the transition to GPC.

For more information, please refer to our FAQs here. Please expect an email from us soon with a few words from Brian so he can share more about his company and his vision for the platform to help you understand what’s best for your business. If you have questions for Brian, you can contact him at [email protected].

Play on,
The Yahoo Games Team

tl;dr: It appears the pricing model for Player.IO has changed because it was bought by the Games Platform Company. EE could be doomed because I doubt the game will fit into anything less than the Pro plan which costs $500 monthly!

Time to throw all of our money at Nou. That, or scream loudly in Processor's direction to use his coding magic and port the game to a different multiplayer system. *cough*

[2016/05/12] UPDATE: The transfer, as far as I can tell, seems to be in progress and is causing downtime. Maybe they'll lose the data on its dangerous voyage through the World Wide Web. BRACE YOURSELVES FOR DOOM!

Insert emotional post here about my life story and how Everybody Edits has affected my life

Everybody Edits has been with me during the highs and the lows, during the stressful times and the happy ones. Even during the countless nights I would stay up to make a bot that would draw a square on the world, and found out that the layer was supposed to be 0, not 1. The times when I won the boss level, and got edit for 15 seconds. When my bot failed to connect, then found out I had the wrong password hours and hours after debugging. When I went online for the first time, had 30 people joined my world, then my laptop sounded like an airplane. When I saved up enough to buy a 200x200 world--oh, my memory is cloudy--then drew a 50x50 boss in it. Oh, the old times that make special.

But it has come to this dire conclusion--EE is no more? Is there an end to my childhood, in which I spent countless days and countless nights living, breathing, and playing EE? It is too soon, oh, it is too soon for a relic of the past to become something that is no longer part of the future. It saddens me, that this can no longer be experienced, even though it has become a foundation of my time, something which I have become so absorbed into that I have doubted my senses.

Time flies.
