I was wondering why I wasn't being charged the 30 tokens per game. (Though it kept giving them to me.) on.fb.me/1S1JLhiTo be fair, I kind of saw this coming when I realized they haven't updated the game since Cedric The Entertainer was host. (The other Social Media Game, the one with the Multiplayer "lobby", still has Terry listed as the host.) I'm hoping that this shut down means that the Social Media games will go back to the "Classic" and current format of Millionaire. (Both games, "Millionaire and Friend" and the lobby agme, still use the US Shuffle format.) Time to abuse the free games and make a mad dash for the achievements while I still can. As of now, all games are now free (it doesn't charge you 30 tokens per game) and lifelines are also free (before it would charge you 5 for double dip, 10 for Ask The Audience, 15 for Jump The Question). (I don't think Double Dip in "Final Round" is an option any more either. It used to charge US$0.99 for its use.) If anyone wants to challenge me, you can search me by using Friend Code: CVD-HGH-PBQ. EDIT: And this might be big.... I think ALL of the Millionaire games are shutting down... The same image that I posted above is being used on the "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" multiplayer game too. I'm still trying to figure this out.

I wonder if the video game rights to "Millionaire" just got sold to another company. That would explain the sudden shutdown of the current games.

If the game rights have been sold, maybe we'll see a new PC game in the near future

According to the customer rep @ Ludia, they aren't renewing the license:

I knew it! This had licensing issues written all over it.
In my opinion, this is a good thing. This will open the door for another developer to claim the rights and hopefully make some better games.

Seriously as long as its made by someone that isn't already a monopoly that can do the game some justice...

I liked the Capcom apps. Too bad they don't work properly anymore on iOS 8 and 9.

Capcom did a really good job with the license. I wouldn't mind seeing them have another shot.
