Big Fish will get both of these games after a while, but for now they are exclusive to Zylom and Gamehouse. They like to have some exclusives for a certain period of time in order to entice purchasers. Big Fish also has many games that are on their site first as exclusives and then later these other sites get them as well. In this instance I don't think it has anything to do with reviews either positive or negative.

Now when Big Fish does get Primrose 3, in all likelihood it won't be the Premium edition with extra levels - that way Zylom and Gamehouse can hang on to the Premium edition as their exclusives. Big Fish will get the standard version. This will probably be the case with Barbarous 2 also. It will all depend on the agreements that they make - sometimes Big Fish gets the premium version, sometimes not.

Zylom, by the way, is Gamehouse Europe, so they are really part of the same company.

One thing I can tell you is that a lot of the smaller developers are having a really hard time making ends meet, and the war has made things even worse. It is possible that they would like to make more sequels but just are not able to at this time.

I appreciate every new release now even more than I once did, because many developers are really struggling.

A little birdie told me that Welcome to Primrose Lake 3 is coming to Big Fish very soon - it will be, I believe, the standard version rather than the premium/deluxe edition.

The other payment method you could use is Paypal.

And no, you could apply your 200 points (two dollars) as part of the payment for the game, but then you would need either Paypal or a credit card to make the rest of the payment.

If you are a Game Club member, this game this weekend during the sale would cost you $5.00. If you then applied your two dollars of points, it would take the price down to three dollars (plus sales tax if applicable in your state).

The forums have been closed, unfortunately. You can't access them anymore. I haven't tried getting to them through the Wayback Machine (internet archive), though. That might work. This closing of the forums happened a little earlier this month.

That's fine. You can also search for the game through an external search engine. I somehow get results more quickly that way. Whatever works for you.

Those have always been the prices if you are not a Game Club member.

If you are a Club member, you pay $6.99 for standard games and $13.99 for Collector's Editions.

But with the new points system (and being a Club member) games are costing me even less money than they were before. My last two Collector's Editions purchased cost me $6.10 and $5.95. I waited for a 65% off sale and applied my points on top of that and that is what I ended up paying for two Collector's Editions.

People outside of the United States are paying somewhat more for their games now because they have to pay whatever the exchange rate is on any given day.

It's pretty amazing to me that Big Fish has not raised their prices for standard versions and Collector's Editions pretty much since they first started releasing them. The Game Club membership cost of $6.99 hasn't gone up either. How many things can you say that about?

And yes, Sable Maze: Forbidden Garden was removed from Big Fish several years ago.

Yes. As a non USA resident and a non Game Club member (and even when a sale is running) BF games have become much more expensive for me ....

i mean buyer remorse, only one delicious game got 5 star, the others of 11-17 got 3 star, 4 and a half, 4 star, people are saying do not buy, easy levels, pretty weak, you know the developers are reading it.

Hi, Mad!

I just received an email notification from Big Fish that my membership will renew on September 11, and it went down by $.06 from what I paid last month happydance . This month, it's costing me $1.78 more than what I paid before the conversion but, instead of receiving 1 Game Club credit, I'll receive 892 points. I converted 6 Game Club credits and 1 Punch Card coupon to points and have been able to use some of those points to pay for the games I've bought in BOGO sales so far. I still feel I'm receiving good value for my money and, as Marian mentioned, I have been a member of Big Fish since 2009 and the games have not increased in price. I also have to remember that, until last month, I paid a fixed exchange rate of 2%, and the actual U.S. exchange rate was usually somewhere between 20% and 35%. I will admit that I'm now becoming more selective and wait for either 65% off sales or BOGO sales to purchase the games I want because I'm trying to stretch my points as far as I can lol .

I don't intend to become a Game Club member, Susie07, so all those advantages you quote won't come my way.
However, I will continue to buy from Big Fish. Just at a rather slower pace seeing as how their games are now costing me so much more 😬

Hi, Mad!

Even you're not a member of Big Fish, I hope you took advantage of the 70% off code because that's quite a good savings wave2.

Unfortunately the 70% off code was good for only one day (yesterday), but keep an eye on the homepage because more special offers are supposed to be forthcoming.
