Yeah, I signed out after seeing that, it made me too sad. I wouldn't say it was the worst idea...I can get used to it after a bit but it does hit you with some overwhelming sadness as soon as you sign on.
I agree. They never even gave the game a chance if you ask me. Note to would be future developers.....most games need a lot of advertising on other websites to become popular and a bit of time. Hell so far as I saw Glitch never even went public or left beta. Blaming it all on "flash games are a thing of the past...bla bla bla..." is just a poor excuse. Glitch was never advertised around the web. Should have seen ads on GameFAQ's, Facebook, and probably a dozen or more other sites.
Sorry if that seems harsh but it's the truth. You have a great game here. You just didn't follow though and dig in for the long haul.
It just had too many overwhelming challenges. I think it did have a fair chance with lots of time, money, and talent to play with.
Does anyone know if the forum is going to disappear with the game? Do I have to download all the threads that were funny and interesting? That is a chore...
Finding the bye sign earlier really upset me. Now when there's a new day, my butler says bye. And when I type "Hi", it flashes bye and upsets me again. This was a really terrible choice imo. Maybe tomorrow, on the last day, it would have been okay.
And I really agree about the advertisements. Apparently Glitch has been around for years, and I frequent many sites full of people who would've loved Glitch. I only heard about the site because on one site's forum, someone was giving out invites.
I thought the bye signs were a lovely glitchy touch, and timed just right.
There may be glitchen who are 21 hours ahead of PST, and who have to get some sleep on Sunday night before going to work normally on Monday. For them, the end is pretty much now.
Like I said in another thread, I like that they are addressing "the End" rather than just shutting it down tomorrow.. They are giving us resolution and I appreciate it.. .)
We were gonna do the bye signs tomorrow. But I'm hopping on a plane right now and won't have time to do it tomorrow cause I'll be playing Glitch all day and not working. So I did it today. Sorry!
I can revert it back if it's causing distress with no offense taken.
