Mafia Wars LIVE/Insider/Joke also called off

The Mafia Wars blog finally admits, indirectly, that they're giving up on Mafia Wars Live. Blue-Eyed Nate started this tradition a few months back. We miss you Nate! I do, anyway. Nate was, in my experience, one of the few Zynga employees who gave a crap about what players had to say.

"Episode 12 will be the last." They will now accept your questions via email, and will post those "answers" on the forums.

It seems interesting to me that they're now redirecting everything to the forums. Most players aren't even aware of the forums; those of us who are, don't care for the forums. A few players like to spend their time telling other players why whatever they wrote was wrong, so only a fraction of a fraction of players give a crap about the forums. Good luck with that, Zynga.

Episode 12 of Mafia Wars Insider is now available!
For our 12th episode, "Month" once again joined "Don Perogi" to report on the exciting features and events released recently or coming soon to Mafia Wars, and to answer the questions you submitted via the Mafia Wars forum. You can watch the episode embedded below or at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mafia-wars-insider. Scroll beyond the embedded video to view the typed answers to the questions covered in this episode.
We appreciate and would like to thank all of the viewers who have stuck with us over the past 12 episodes, but episode 12 will be the last. We have decided to transform the Mafia Wars Insider Q&A program. We now encourage you to send your questions to us at insider@mafiawars.com. Then, starting next week, we'll begin posting answers to those questions on the Mafia Wars forum. We're very excited about this format, which should help us get answers for you more quickly than we were able to via the videos.

 Awesome. More canned answers.
