Well said, but I was also thinking. You remember that feat to invite people? That may have been our all of nothing thing, sadly. of course we didn't know, we got angry about it and whatnot, but I think if we (the players) actually knew, we wouldn't have protested like we did.

    Agreed. Had I known it were more so a necessity than an attempt to emulate Zynga's business model, I would've reacted differently.

    True, there was that, and hind sight is always 20/20, had we of known we would of reacted different to it. People also reacted negatively to the twitter and Fb share buttons. However at the time both things seemed like push out of knowwhere, and we were given no hint that the game really did need our help and to spread the word. I would of hit the Social networks like crazy had i of known, but as for invites, the few ppl that i knew that might possibly be interested had been invited long ago, i had no one to invite from reality. But there were way too many things backing up that the game was flourishing. New content, new lands, new collectibles, Feats, new furniture, and the game had just went to open beta, and there were new ppl coming in all the time. Theres just nothing that gave us any real indication....sorry to say but there really wasn't.

    I know I wouldn't have protested. i thought about that after the fact, and I think it sucks that that one terrible, terrible feat might have been their push to find out if they could find other players. They could have found other fans who were willing to pay: i don't believe that the only people they could possibly find were the group of us they already had.

I did not invite others during the "Invite Others Feat" because I felt I didn't know anyone who might have been interested. If I had known that my inaction (and others' inaction) was going to lead to Glitch being closed, I would have hounded at least 10 people to play it AND for each person to hound 10 people him/herself. That the staff was not told ... well, I hope they all saw the writing on the wall at least 2 weeks before it was official.

    I didn't either. I had previously sent an invite to my brother, the only person I thought would play. When the feat started, I realized I had no one to invite. Had I known, I would have walked over to friends' houses, laptop in hand, and shown them how to play, how cute, how fun, how easy. I guess it really doesn't matter because they all like shooting games or no games at all. "I don't have time for video games" etc. "what, no zombies? no thanks". Frankly, I don't have any interest in shooting games and wish their was a bigger audience for the gentler, more loving games. But, yeah, I totally would have put more effort into the feat and the whole "you have to try this" thing.

I agree with the "like" buttons for Twitter and Facebook. I howled like an angry beast and ranted about this to my husband. Soon afterwards, just as quietly as the buttons had appeared, they disappeared. Had I known this action was actually a cry for help, I would have reacted very differently.
