I miss the old you…

I discovered this game a few years ago on a random afternoon, and it was one of the best things that had ever happened to me in my XYZ years of living.
What I loved most was being able to create, customize, and actually put my hands to work. I deeply enjoyed the independence I was given, and at the time, I genuinely felt like I had earned every penny I made. I remember working hard for hours just to go to the city and buy new equipment for my kitchen, all so I could please my customers and myself.
Eventually, I unlocked every floor, and my café really became a reflection of me and my creativity. I remember serving desserts, placing chairs, decorating my garden and my food trucks, and finally seeing what all those hours of effort had been for: the best achievement I had ever made.
After getting everything I could possibly have in the shop, I took quite a long break. Today, I finally came back, only to discover the horror that my Hello Kitty Café has become.
First of all, since when did we start getting money so easily and rapidly? I feel like I don't even deserve it anymore. Then I decided to check out the mall to see all the new equipment and furniture available for the new café I wanted to decorate, only to be denied access because I'm not level 20.
Confused, I went back to my café, wondering: how am I supposed to decorate it if I can't even buy furniture?
Well, apparently, all I have to do now is stand on a giant blue button and wowww two chairs and a table magically appear. I didn't even choose the design. I didn't choose where they went. They just appeared.
And it's the same thing with the second floor. Like... when am I supposed to use my creativity? Wasn't that the whole point of the game?
Now, all I see in front of me is an impersonal, overstimulating café that doesn't feel like mine at all.
This genuinely broke my heart. Why am I being treated like a toddler when I originally came to this game to express my imagination through the creation of a whole damn town?
Please. I miss the old you. Come back to me.
