Thanks Marian! I thought I saw it but then wondered if it has been scrapped. Isn't it by one of the developers they dropped?

It's a Friendly Fox game. I do not think they will be under contract with Big Fish anymore, no, but that does not necessarily mean that Big Fish will never get their games. This particular game has been in beta for a while and may have been part of the old contract. It will be interesting to watch to see how all of this unfolds.

I also noticed on Steam (unless I am mistaken) the cost of the Big Fish games has increased to match the cost on Big Fish. It seems to me the Steam regular price was always lower.

I think I saw this mentioned recently on another website; it could very well be true.

Well, it's been another week since I wrote my follow-up message to BFG. So it's been over three weeks since I got my first message saying that they, BFG Customer Service, would get back to me in 4-7 days.

I'm more than frustrated. Of the 500+ games I've already bought that remain in my library, I'm thinking of culling the list to 50 of the "Best of the Best", downloading them, assuming I can get the downloads to work, and wave goodbye to BFG through my read-view window. The "get the downloads to work" remains problematic until I get the password problem with Game Manager solved. We shall see.


For whom the games toll.
They toll for thee.

I am so sorry. I don't know why this is happening, but I would be miserable in this situation.

Well, that is not good to hear at all. I hope this is not the "new" Big Fish way.

I had contact with Customer Support fairly recently and everything was fine. It is very hard for me to understand why this is happening.

Update: Problem #1 is solved. Not with any help from BFG. Have still not heard word one from them. Anyway I deleted/reinstalled everything. Found remnants of what the Game Manager password was via
Google Password Manager. It was different from the main page email/password. Deleted it, so it no longer tries to load when opening GM. Deleted/reinstalled GM once again. When I was again prompted for the email/password, I did so using the Main Page data and I was then able to Activate the games that were left in my download queue from back when this problem first started more than a month ago. That's the good news.

Problem #2 started once I started doing what I said I was going to do .... which was to download the 50 or so "Best Of" games from my library. Didn't get past game #1 Drawn: The Painted Tower Got a six digit error message starting with 308xxx. Basically that's telling me that my computer doesn't like dealing with the BFG servers. Strange, since the AV/Malware/Firewall on my end hasn't changed. So I still have a problem, and I don't trust BFG enough to write another letter to Customer Service. I'll let you all know what I find when dealing with "permissions" that allow my PC to download games from BFG servers.

I do not envy you this problem. I would be so frustrated and infuriated if I could not get to my games!

Three days ago I opened up a ticket with BF about one of their promotions, nothing serious. Just figured I'd write them more to see what happens. The auto reply said it may take more than 4 or 5 days for a response. We'll see if I ever get one or not.
