The decision to end the show came from the shows Executive Producer Mara Brock Akil. BET.com spoke with Akil and asked her why end the show after the ninth season. She said, "Shows do end; that is a part the business. I'm very happy BET gave The Game five additional seasons to explore these characters and this world. We made history when we got to the network and it's nice to be able to celebrate the great achievements of the show."

As a huge fan of this show, I'm happy us fans are getting the proper ending. Not all shows are lucky enough to have a finale... case in point: Girlfriends, which Akil executive produced as well. Also, I hope Melanie and Derwin return!! And, I can't WAIT to see what happens with the Jason/Kelly/Chardonnay triangle because that ending from the last season at the wedding was craaazyyy!
