How long has this been on the 'About Us' page? (bolding done by me)

Founded in 2002, Big Fish is the world's largest producer and distributor of casual games, delivering fun to millions of people around the world. Through its mobile and online distribution platforms, Big Fish has distributed more than 2.5 billion games to customers in 150 countries from a growing catalog of 450+ unique mobile games and 3,500+ unique PC games.

After successfully transitioning from a PC-centric to a mobile-centric company, Big Fish has emerged as a top grossing mobile publisher worldwide with a portfolio that includes the #1 mobile social casino game, Big Fish Casino. The company is headquartered in Seattle, WA, with regional offices in Oakland, CA, and Luxembourg.

Interesting to see that the mobile catalogue is 'growing' but there's no mention of growth for the PC catalogue.

Meanwhile, the number of games released for PC continues to decline each year:

# of PC games released by June 30 in 2011 - 271   total for year - 509
# of PC games released by June 30 in 2012 - 243   total for year - 482
# of PC games released by June 30 in 2013 - 233   total for year - 468
# of PC games released by June 30 in 2014 - 234   total for year - 457
# of PC games released by June 30 in 2015 - 202   total for year    maybe 400?

Yikes Tirama!  I've never seen that or heard that.  I know that after FAUNASPHERE ended (3 or 4 years ago) some of the people who worked there were4 transferred to a team that was working on mobile games.  I wasn't aware that BFG SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED FROM A PC-CENTRIC TO A MOBILE-CENTRIC COMPANY.  Wow!  Just Wow!

Interesting, no?  I'd love to know just how long that has been on the About Us page.  Was it there when the announcemnet about ART and AK was made?  While the mods were assuring everybody that PC gaming was very important to the company?

I don't blame BFG for concentrating on mobile games, that's where the money is.  BF became the place to buy HOPAs and HOPAs have become very costly to make and appeal predominantly to women in their 60's and older.  I just don't like the Cool Aid the mods have been trying to get us to drink, constantly telling us nothing has changed.

Think about it.  400 games a year, and that includes 104 games that are the SE versions of games already released, and some free to play games.   And we wonder why we're having trouble finding games to buy.
 

Thanks Stusue, I did pick up a few games in today's sale:

Danse Macabre Thin Ice CE
Subliminal Realm The Masterpiece CE
Spirit of Revenge Elizabeth's Secret CE
Queens Tales Sins of the Past CE
Witches Legacy the Dark Throne CE
Phantasmat the Dread of Oakville CE

There are a few more but SEs will do and I have coupons to be used up.

Ahh, it finally ended.  I liked it.  Great voiceovers, SE had a decent ending.  There were some good puzzles in there.  If I ever run out of games I would probably replay it.  Then again, I really like the Surface series and would probably replay all of them.   It had a jump map, showed where all unsolved areas were, not just the ones where you could do something at the moment.  I like that, it makes you think harder instead of just handing it to you.  There were things to do that were hard to figure out, like the graphics might be blurry so you couldn't really tell what you were looking at, a sweet spot might be really small, or you couldn't tell the action to take by looking at a problem, but they just upped the challenge a little, you could just keep wandering between active areas or if you used the hint it told you where to go and what to do. I'm doing alright on Island Tribe 2, so far I haven't had to play anything more than twice to get gold.  It did throw you into the game abruptly, I was glad I had recently played the first game so didn't need a primer.  I'm in the 300s on Queen's Garden and I still have that GH hopa to finish.

I decided to fill my 3rd punch card today since we get bonus punches and redeemed two pcc's. There's only 1 MOnday left in the month and no guarantee that it will be a bonus punch day.

Got the last 2 Fantasy Mosaics games that BF released.
