Hi  (can't find a waving smilie).  I'm going to try the BOGOF codes tomorrow.  If they don't work there'll be another sale.  I'm thinking Labor Day but who knows. 

I did enjoy WANDERING WILLOWS.  I don't think I was ever able to "create" more than one pet though.

Um.... WendyDarling ....Are you shagwendy? 

ETA:  How do I get the Private message thingy?

Tirama, did you demo all the CEs that you bought recently?  How many did you buy?  finished your buying spree already?

I am going to pass on the sale. I will use a pcc tomorrow to get Finders. Strange little game but interesting.

Someone posted on FB that in the rankings for websites Big fish has dropped over 200 places in the past 7 days. Interesting huh ?

What is the ranking for?  Number of hits?  It's not surprising that the page would drop since many people would "hit" it several times a day checking CCC.

It's way too soon to tell how BF will be affected by closing CCC.  People may buy games elsewhere for a while but if their game buying experience is bad, they'll come back. 

Some people were so gungho about GameHouse, but their forum rules are basically the same as BF's: no mentioning the competition, etc and for HOG fans, well, if people were complaining about having to wait 4-6 weeks for the SE to be released after the CE, they're not going to like waiting 4-6 months for either format to finally arrive on GameHouse. 

Many of the TM players were already not buying their games from BF, they didn't want to wait and bought from the developers.  So BF wasn't getting their $$$ anyway.

I've never bught anywhere other than BF and Real Arcarde (one game from an independent dev and that game was never going to go to a game club portal, too expensive).  I don't like having to keep track of what I bought from where, and I don't think I'm teh only one who prefers one-stop shopping.

But time will tell.  Be interesting to see if there's a half-price credit sale how many people who swore BF would never see another penny of their money change their mind.
 

I've bought games directly from various developers (like Playrix) plus GOG, Wild Tangent, IWin and Amazon in addition to BFG.

But I agree it can be a hassle to keep track and also reload if you have a computer blow-out.

Sometime BFG doesn't have the complete game, though.  Like Cute Knight and Cute Knight Kingdom.  You don't get the cheat console in the BGF version.

Lately, though IWin has not been supporting some of the older games.  Even one I bought from them.  If they have to do reprogramming so the game can be played in windows 8, they sometimes opt not to do it.  I complained and got an "oh, well" note.  So, I ended up buying the game from the dev - after I suspended my service with Iwin for a month to pay for it...
