They only bought utopia and earth for the player base.
They always intended to shut them both down and then pretended they needed to create a "newer utopia" because they can't understand or maintain the old code.
They planned to shut it down and try and get the players to move to khan wars (utopia kingdoms) from the start and it is only called "utopia kingdoms" to trick players into thinking it's still utopia so they move to it.
Yes, jolt bought our game to kill it.
