Ok, cool. That explains a lot then.

I don't recall ever saying that. Social media is a HUGE part of all of our games. We integrate with social media as much as possible without being annoying.

I don't recall saying that either.

Maybe we're talking past each other a bit.

If you're suggesting that for brand new games, I agree.

If you are suggesting people take existing games with a happy community of players, then I think any radical transformation to a graphically heavy interface is a bad idea.

Primordiax was an entirely new game. So yeah, maybe we are.

Although we shut Primordiax down partly because it was it was too much of a "tweener" between text and graphics. We really should have just gone all the way with graphics at that point - even if the backend was basically a MUD.
