Its even worse in a game where it really is just pixels that are restricted only by SEs choice...they created something that will never be enough for everyone even if each housing owner plays every single day...

Also we live in a time of a pandemic. People have lost jobs, may have gotten really ill, lost maybe other people or have nowhere to stay. Of course a house in a game would not be on the first place in their minds..but that should not mean that one hurts them even more by taking that away.
I think in a general sense auto demolish is... neccessary. I left the game in 2018 and came back in 2020. I was sad to lose the house but they have to think of their subscribers and I wasn’t playing or paying and someone else was. We’re in a situation where new people can only get houses when old people leave. So this is.. a solution to the problem and probably the best one given how housing is currently.

However the Covid thing makes it a bit harsh. Because at least some of these people aren’t playing because they lost a job or were sick. But the auto demolish is a vital part of letting new players get a house so at this point you need to ask how long do you let them stay empty? I think it’s been well over half a year already.

So I can see why they do it. Can also see why some people disagree.
