Call me sceptical, but I find it hard to believe that people complaining in the TGT forum didn't notice all the complaints on Moday in Monday's TGT forum.

I'm pretty sure the terms of service mention that BF can withdraw promotions any time they want, however, somebody's head should roll for not knowing all the different places where punch codes are mentioned and updating them accordingly.  Some of the employees appear to be very lazy, using templates and not checking very carefully to see exactly what wording needs to be changed.
 

so if what Im reading is correct...my free game from CS will work on a CE? Its not like any coupon I've gotten either as it says it expires March 9th and its not one of those credit card number looking ones like usual. Hmm whats on my list? Unless I get the newest Eipix one, it doesn't look like I have a contender. I haven't demoed the Grim Legends as I thought it was another Grim Tales and done on the bride again and since I hated the first installment I ignored it until I realized... LOL but I love artifex mundi so I will give it a shot. All the other CEs that have come out in the past weeks haven't been for my operating system. I found out that Apple isn't supporting mac OS 10.6 anymore just as windows isn't doing anymore updates for XP. I have been meaning to upgrade it but I was trying to play the older games first. 

I am still playing Nightmares from the Deep-Sirens Call CE. Due to everything that happened, I never got a chance to go back to it. I couldn't focus enough to play it and its an awesome game so I wanted to give it the attention that it deserved. I haven't been watching my shows either. I was playing the Joan of Arc M3 on wednesday because it was mindless but then I started crying so I left that one alone too. I am 75% done with that one though. The thing is there is no way now that I can finish a level in ONE minute so I know I won't get that achievement. I don't think you can choose to go back and play old levels (at least I can't figure out how). BUT if I can just get through one board using the click and drag play style, I'll at least get that achievement since I finally beat a level with the popper style. You guys weren't kidding when you said those other levels were hard!!

Does anyone own this Rebuild the European Union M3 game? Its weird because of the arrows although I have been able to figure out how to do it but the arrows kind of make me dizzy. I think its kind of fun but am afraid it might get impossible later on. I have 5 pccs I need to use & after reading the Punch Card comments on one of the new game forums (and commenting accordingly which a lot of people said they agreed-who knew) it seems A LOT of people still hadn't realized it changed and got screwed out of their punch card. I think BFG should have let people know in advance AND made it start March 1st. because the way they did it was just bad business practice. 

Its annoying though because if I leave BFG, they have all the exclusive games and other sites like GH & mac games arcade have these games BUT like 6 months later! You can't even buy most of them from the developers websites so its kind of hard for me to figure out what to do. But until I upgrade my computer, it really might be proactive to cancel as I can't play anything new anyways lol & if BFG is pushing F2P games soooo much....why aren't any of them made for mac users? IF I want to play an F2P game, its either my dads ipad, my iphone which the screen is wayyy too small OR on facebook which I rarely use anymore. There's a market there so why is nobody doing it especially since Mac computers are apple and ipad & iphone are apple?

I just checked out that thread and quelle surprise, most of the people carrying on are people who started their own pond and loudly proclaim over there that they no longer buy from BF.  So why would they care what BF does regarding the punches?

megwoman25 - If the person who got canned  was dishing the dirt before she got fired, it's not surprising she lost her job.   Not all the developers who post on that site necessarily share the malcontents opinion about BF and might have tipped BF the nod.  Personally, I think the people running that site are cowardly for hiding a large portion of the content of the forums from lurkers.  They certainly would have condemmed BF if that had been forum policy.

Exactly!    However, I think the reason they keep on trying to get the developers to at least sell their games on their sites, if not stop selling through BFG at all, is because they know they have to keep buying from BFG if they want those games.  And I agree, whenever the developers are asked to stop selling through BFG the developers always politely explain that that just isn't going to happen, that they have a contract with them and will continue to sell that way.  So I'm sure most, if not all, of those complainers still buy from BFG but maybe won't admit it.

OMG, just finished reading the rest of the "Punch Card" thread.  Hilarious.  Rhonayotte called people whiney crybabies or some such and all hell broke loose.  Go read it before it disappears.  Barre was there

It's no longer funny.  It's reached new levels of personal attacks that are juvenile and puerile and intentionally hurtful.    I can't believe people can even think such awful, cruel, mean things, let alone say them in an open forum.  I hope the entire thread is removed.
