But after major backlash from residents and civil rights organizations, as well as the apparent de escalation of conditions that had led to the curfew in the first place, city officials agreed on Thursday morning to end it immediately.Shikada told this news organization that the police had not made any arrests related to residents violating the curfew, which he said was imposed to ensure public safety. The decision to institute the curfew was driven by incidents around Stanford Shopping Center, where police reportedly observed between 50 and 100 cars circling the mall on Sunday.The city was one of many jurisdictions around the Bay Area that had instituted curfews this week relating to protests demanding racial equality and justice after the May 25 killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. But while other cities and counties limited its curfews to a few days (the San Mateo County curfew expired Thursday morning after two nights) or left their curfew orders open ended (San Francisco ordered a new curfew for a few days until Wednesday night, when it announced that curfews would be lifted Thursday), Palo Alto’s was an outlier because of its duration.”We thought it would be better to place an end date and be conservatively long and not have to extend it,” Shikada said.

But there is a lot of demand, because people want the personal touch. I did it myself, some years ago, for my son’s first birthday.
As several others have already said, adding more features to the game sounds great, but the game is fundamentally broken in its current state. Multiplayer is practically unplayable, building masterpieces of design is painfully slow, missions are buggy, unreliable and frustrating; things just don work well today. 50% of players may want weaponry to be added, but I guarantee 100% of players would prefer a game that actually functions without crashing or slowing down for no apparent reason, or for basic fundamental functions of the game to work as intended.
