Kotaku delivers strange news, apparantly EA has pulled "The Simpsons: Tapped Out" from Apple's iTunes store because the game is too popular! An EA representative revealed that the game has been temporarily removed from the App Store because EA is struggling with server capacity.
Pocket Gamer reports that an anonymous gamer posted on EA’s help forum to inquire about the game, but was met with a disappointing response from a representative:

To ensure current players have the best possible experience, we’ve temporarily removed The Simpsons: Tapped Out from the App Store to limit the game’s server capacity to its current players and address connectivity and lag time issues.

As soon as we have resolved these issues to handle greater player capacity, we will return The Simpsons: Tapped Out to the App Store so that even more people can enjoy this “life-ruiningly fun” game. Meanwhile, thanks to everyone for their patience, and we will provide an update as soon as we have more information to share.
