QUESTION:

I want to delete today's free game - Natalie Brooks: The Treasures of Lost Kingdom - now that I've played it, as I can't see myself wanting to play it again, but I can't find it listed under "Uninstall/Change" on Windows 7.  I uninstalled the BFG version but can't find the free version anywhere.  I searched for it but to no avail. 

I know where it's located on my C drive but can only delete it, not uninstall it.

Anyone have any ideas? 
 

Oscar, it's in the Game Giveaway of the Day folder, in C.  It wasn't uninstalled when I uninstalled the BFG version as it's still there and I can still start the game.    It's not listed in the Uninstall games list and I couldn't find it when I did a search.    I can delete the folder but that wouldn't totally clear it, as far as I know. 

And yes, I agree with what you said.  I also really wish people wouldn't make judgemental comments about what "we" all like or dislike in games, like the "useless" CE extras like wallpapers, art, music, etc, which I happen to like, especially when some thought is put into them.  I have no problem with them saying what they like or dislike or don't think is important, but I don't like it when they assume that we all feel the same. 

Just a few days ago I read a thread on another CCC-refugee site (which shall remain nameless) about how several people have highjacked the reviews on BFG and rave about every game - and their comments were very scathing and derogatory.  But, if you look at what they all say in the developers' threads on that site, there's hardly any negative things said, let alone a negative comment.  It's a developer love fest over there.  I thought that was so hypocritical.  But it did give me a good LOL moment. 
 

I also appreciate all those who review games, especially those who give really useful information re CE versus SE.  I know of one reviewer who constantly reviews and gives a breakdown of all aspects of each game ... and has been lambasted for her constant reviews!  I don't understand that, apart from maybe jealousy.    She almost stopped posting when things got really bad but, fortunately, she got enough support that she's continued.  She especially got really hateful, belittling comments when she posted her comments about the CE in the SE forum, letting us know what the difference was and which she recommended, which is the most important info for me.  I know myself from the demo whether I like a game or not, and so look to reviews for info re the CE, especially the length and quality of the bonus chapter, or if the same quality continues in both the CE and SE after the demo, for example.

But what I really hate is when reviewers don't think of all the time and sweat that goes into these games and say things like that a game is garbage, etc, without thinking how hurtful that must be for the developers who've poured their hearts into their games.  I feel so sad for those who've made these games and feel angry on their behalf for all these unnecessarily hurtful comments.  Why can't the reviewers be polite and just say what they like or don't like about a game without being scathing, and only say things that they would say to the developers' faces, rather than, as Oscar said, using the "nice anonymity of the net" to say such nasty things.  But as for that other site, Oscar, I totally agree with you that it's just another way to belittle BFG.

But I find useful negative reviews - negative in that the reviewer didn't like the demo and explains why, not that what they said was negative in a nasty way - extremely helpful as I see if what they didn't like about the game is something I don't like as well, or whether it's not something that concerns me.  Eg, some people give a 1-star review, saying 'no walkthrough = no buy', which means that I can discount that 1-star review as no walkthrough is no deterrent for me.

Oscar, if you do get the Natalie Brooks game and then you want to delete it after playing, I'd be really interested to know if you have any problems doing it. 
 

Stuesue, it´s always like that with Gamegiweaway, they are never listed in Uninstall.
I also got the glitch with the telephone and wasn´t as smart as you, so I just deleted it.
Good information for the future 
I have problems with my new computer,It don´t let me install the Giweaways (maybe it´s Norton ),
so I download and install it on my old one and then transfer it to the new .

I too have norton but I can dl, so it may be some setting in it.  I had the telephone issue as well so so I have dl the BFG one to have concurrent if I need it. Although I find that very odd, the glitch is in one but not the other.
