So the next season of the "Littlest Pet Shop" is going to be the last, running for four seasons and 104 episodes.

And it would be Hasbro's call if the design evolution was ever made public.

Fizzbuzz wrote:CQ was getting really big and established, to the point where Hasbro could no longer quietly ignore it. It's like how Fighting is Magic was allowed to exist even though it was drawing more and more attention, but it finally had to be killed when it nearly showed up at Evo that one year.
Fizzbuzz wrote:Another factor might've been that CQ didn't look super obviously like it was a product of our fandom. That is to say, with its name and site as they were, perhaps Hasbro felt like there was a halfway-decent chance for consumers to think CQ was an official MLP thing. JanAnimations had a similar problem when a bunch of his videos got taken down; since he was so damn good at mimicking the show's style, those shorts with Button Mash could've very well come across as an FiM web series of sorts, so Hasbro had to (as nicely as possible) get rid of them.

Andew Ryan's Fursona wrote:The story I heard about Fighting Is Magic was that the game itself was entered in a game dev contest with a cash prize, thus bumping it into the category of "for-profit" and meaning they had to treat it as a bootleg product rather than a fan project. If that's true, it's an even bigger shame than we thought because it meant they could have gone all the way if it hadn't been for one mistake.

Comparison with previous version:

These things are rarely black-and-white. Hasbro are not fond at all of things that could be mistaken for a real product (I know that from experience; back in 2012, they were so paranoid that GalaCon wasn't allowed to sell shirts that had ponies on them, at all, not even OCs; they were too scared we could be seen as an official Hasbro event) and the graphics/voice acting in Fighting is Magic were definitely impressively close to the real deal. The money issue certainly made it more pressing, but it's likely a combination of factors that came into play.
