Heck !! That is some list of stuff !! And not all what me might have wanted 🙄

Mad has made me afraid to read the article.

Wow, Marian. What a sad read! I miss the days of Paul Thelen. He was so awesome and I just loved working for him and Big Fish. This really stinks and it just gets worse with each sale of the company.

Ana, I miss Paul too: that is for sure! And he brought about what I consider now to have been the Renaissance era for casual games.

Okay, I read it. I don't know if I feel I should buy up all the games I want that I haven't bought yet or wish I hadn't spent so much money there already. I know the whole world will hear me ranting if I lose access to my games.

I don't know why they think getting rid of all the developers they already had is a good thing especially when it seems like more people have already been complaining about the type of games showing up, and cancelling their memberships. I don't have a clue about game development but you would think BF would keep the developers and go ahead with their plan to develop themselves also (if I understood that part right).

Regarding Steam, I always wondered why the games were cheaper there which I thought was weird but I did take advantage of it often. Can't the HOPA game developers go straight to Steam instead of closing their business if BF has ended contracts with them?

A HOPA developer putting their games up on Steam first could certainly be a possibility, although I don't know what the ins and outs of that are. Do/Domini Games does this now. There is also something now called Google Play, which has been getting 5 BN games and some other HOPAs earlier. I think it would also depend on what percentage would be needed by any given developer on each sale in order to continue to fund their game development and stay viable.

As I have said before, we will just have to wait and see how things go.
