Not really surprising it's going to be free, afterall they ditched this for a long time for Red Falls, which was meh, only to come back and give it a rushed ending so it's out of their hair.Which I think is pretty awesome. Getting Season 2 as a free update?
I did read about the ending being rushed, it's not really completed, how they just wanted to be done with this so that they can focus on Helping the Hotties. I don't really care though. I have been let down this year by things, games, movies, etc. I just don't care anymore lol
The rushed ending was not really surprising either.
