Because with all these updates, the landscape of “Clash of Clans” is changing little by little and the game is moving away from what it once was. And with this, we expect that the next versions could make it even more drastically different from its original versions.
In the end, change is necessary for a title to survive, even a more popular one like “Clash of Clans”. Players would obviously not enjoy the idea of being stuck with the exact same gameplay features available to them forever, although on the other hand Supercell should also very carefully choose exactly what they’re introducing to the game.
It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen a popular title lose its edge because its core players were turned away by changes that went against the original idea of the game, and “Clash of Clans” might reach that point as well if Supercell don’t pay attention.
But so far, the studio has been doing quite a lot to keep the game alive and fresh, and they seem to be on top of their game. The studio is well aware of what players want to see in this game and they’ve been working hard to deliver on that front in all of their updates, so we trust that the next one is also going to work well.
