ahhh...you beat me to #7 Mad

Hi Laurette, if you had been following a lot of the discussions we have been having here about Big Fish, you would probably understand better what's going on. Big Fish underwent another big transition late last year where Big Fish was sold again and is now Big Fish Games Entertainment. Lots of changes are occurring, including the fact that two of their HOPA developers were let go, with plenty of accusations on both sides about who is in the right and who is in the wrong (and lawsuits have been filed, to go to court around next May, I believe). Big Fish Entertainment has formed a new development studio but thus far they have developed a new game for mobile and that's it, as far as I know. They say that other things are planned but nothing concrete has been announced as yet.

So yes, things are very different. I have adopted a wait and see attitude to see what ensues over the coming months. I have enough HOPAs to last the rest of my life and I enjoy other genres too such as solitaire, match 3, and TM. But for those who were customers of Big Fish for the HOPA games and have pretty much everything already, the pickings have been slim.

Yay, Leeana! It's always a treat when you find a really good game that you actually enjoy!

Example: Death on the Nile downloaded perfectly, and played well on my Windows 11 machine. Peril at End House, from the same series, wouldn't downlad at all. Conclusion: If you can download it, it will likely play on a modern machine.

I might have found out why sometimes the Game Manager has been opening up when I try to play a game. I have at least one game not shutting down properly but looks like it has. It continues running in the background and needs "end task" to be done in task manager, therefore, if I try to open a different game, the game manager opens instead. I'll have to check if that's the reason if/when it happens again. Previously, it seemed like it happened after being signed out of the GM so I thought that might be causing the issue somehow.

LOL oldbroad.

She did mention it briefly in the Garden, and that was enough to whet my appetite!

Excellent. Please let us know what the developer says.

Thank you, BET 🙂
