Thanks Marian! Two quite different reviews so far on Big Fish . Yes, quite a study in contrasts! And I don't approve when a Big Fish reviewer complains about technical problems. Most of the time, such problems are not experienced by everyone, and thus it seems inappropriate and unfair to the developer.

The game should be ready for prime time when it's issued. But sometimes not all the bugs have been identified at that point.

I too miss the Big Fish forum, Marian. There’s lots of help here at GB, buy when a game has been out for a while, it’s hard for people to remember specifics.
Most developers are good about fixing technical difficulties in a timely manner. I get your point about someone hesitating to buy a game if there’s a possibility of a technical problem. As a longtime BFG customer, I rarely worry about technical difficulties since I know they are either fixed eventually or BFG will issue a credit. Those who may be new members, non-members, or buy few games would likely see things differently.

Having said that, I do wish that there was still a separate Big Fish forum for people to report technical problems with games. I found those comments useful on more than one occasion if I had experienced a particular issue with a game. Absolutely! You'd think they were making plenty of money on the games, enough to hire some humans to help buyers get past glitches and enjoy their games. After all, that just makes for more loyal, repeat buyers (speaking from experience). June 14: I'm almost finished with the main game (I bought the CE, so the Bonus Game awaits ). Kudos to this design crew for some quirky and original puzzles, some of which are a puzzle just to figure out what to do even before you try to solve them. ha ha They also brought something new to the run-of-the-mill HO scene. I do have a quibble about their beta testing, however. One puzzle simply didn't work at all (you could try to click on the pieces but they would not Select, so they could not be manipulated to solve the puzzle), and this puzzle had to be Skipped Another puzzle was Inventory-based, and required four pieces to be found and inserted. When I inserted the third piece I found, it "Solved" the puzzle prematurely. Oddly, I later found the fourth piece; it went into my Inventory along with the other three that suddenly re-appeared out of thin air. This kind of stuff ought not to arise on an issued game.
