Well, you’ve already decided to be disappointed with the new Age, so I won’t try to convince you otherwise.
We… played the game for all those months. We had fun all those months.
If you go to a circus and have fun, and the circus moves to the next city, does that void the fun you had?
I’m on test so it’s not like I haven’t played it.
That analogy would only apply if the circus was created specifically for that time, then vanished with all it’s performers. And then the circus owner sets up a go cart track on the same spot, or at least the sign saying coming soon.
No. From your perspective, the circus “existed” only for the duration you were able to enjoy it. You don’t worry about the circus before it came to your town, and you won’t worry about it after it’s gone.
What if the circus comes back bext year and they have a new show, with several new performers, and some of the old ones have left. Does that void the previous enjoyment you had? Does that mean that the work the circus did for last year’s show was worthless?
Not from the mid west are you? Hell we used to more or less follow them as they moved around they state. Carnival groupies are a thing.
You mean that I can’t have again because the circus went poof?
You mean the tents they made and then got burnt? The animals the were trained, preformed, then got put down? And the performers that spent weeks honing their act only to be taken out back and 
When the gig was done?
Now I can model, maybe only a box modeler but I can model. I am, or was a texture artist. Never a pro because I did it pretty much for my own scenes. I’ve done animations but that is real close to my CG comprehension ceiling. So I can sympathies with the amount of work put in to the head hunter wagon/caravan. Seems to me it has got to hurt to have it pulled from the game. Or is it?
I fully expect various assets from it to turn up in the battle pass and bazaar.
Perhaps you could adopt the poor, maltreated artists if you feel so bad for them.
Seasonal stuff for video games is not a new phenomenon. Professionals have been working on temporary content for online games for ~15, maybe 20 years. They get paid for the work they do regardless of how permanent their creation is.
As a consumer, I enjoy that content while it lasts. If it’s something I’d like to see as a permanent feature in the game, I send feedback to the company. Sometimes we get to keep the fun stuff if the game has room for it.
(And no, I’m definitely not from the Midwest. I’m from Finland. When I was a kid, we used to build huge snow castles in the winter. They inevitably melted in the spring, but we had fun building them, we had fun playing in them, and sometimes we even had fun tearing them down. Perhaps this cultural difference explains our different sense of attachment to the permanency of things.)
Trying to take a week off but have to answer this.
Seasonal stuff is seasonal. Those same seasons just keep coming and going. Like the snow in winter we can expect the carnival every year. And like spending the winter making and breaking snow forts, you could; with money and a vehicle, tag along with the carnival through the summer. I have 
But the age of sorcery is gone like a fart in a high wind. All that artists effort is now gone. Oh a bit or piece will assuredly turn up in the bazaar. But the staging is done. The play is over.
Bit of information, for an artist the paycheck is a good part, but not the best part of the passion.
Later.
