Over the past 12 years, The Simpsons Tapped Out has taken us on an amazing journey that all started with a nuking.
And what better way to start your week, than by discussing one of the ways the game could end.
Ashes to ashes!
Dust to dust!
Nuke to nuke?
When I got my first non-Blackberry smart device, an Apple iPad on 31JUL2013, the very first app I downloaded was The Simpsons Tapped Out. When I opened the app, Homer had nuked Springfield.
So since the announcement came that the game would be pulled from the server on 24JAN2025 at 6:00pm Eastern, my thought for a fitting end has been to nuke my Springfield.
What started with Homer nuking his Springfield, ending with me nuking my pocket Springfield would be poetic justice.
A lot of people are fearful of nuking. Long term readers probably know I’ve nuked multiple times before. Those who have been on this site for years will recall I even nuked my Springfield for a second time on an episode of Addicts Live back in January 2018.
Many have similarly commented their intent to nuke their Springfields. Some even suggesting we should all nuke our games at the same time. Others have commented that they will take a screenshot of their pocket Springfields and convert them to puzzles.
What are your plans for the end of the game? Sound off in the comments below.
