Pogo Will Be Retiring Deluxe Download Games

[C~M]

Pogo Will Be Retiring Deluxe Download Games in November.

On November 1st, Pogo will be retiring some of their "Deluxe Download" games and removing online connectivity from them. These games are the downloads offered through Pogo's Download Games Center that have awarded your Club Pogo account tokens, rank badges, and Mini items as you ranked up. As of November 1st, these games will no longer be able to be played online and therefore you will no longer be able to earn the rank badges, tokens, and Mini items.


The retiring games are:

The Poppit Show
Way to go Bowling
Word Riot Deluxe
Diner Dash Family Style*
Lottso! Deluxe
Tri-Peaks 2 – Quest for the Ruby Ring
Mahjong Garden Deluxe
Pictureka Museum Mayhem
Operation Mania

The reason given by customer support was a contractual issue, but also these games have not been compatible with anything higher than Windows 7. Recently, players have reported being unable to connect to Mahjong Garden Deluxe. Other games may be affected as well.

I still have the ability to get these badges for those who do not have them, however I really think Poppit Show is done. I have played it for 4 hrs every day for 6 weeks for someone and they are still on rank 35.

And when can we expect refunds from EA/Pogo since these DeLuxe games were paid for separately? 

[MsMissy]

Squid, do you really think Pogo will pay us back for these games.     I feel sorry for whoever buys them now. & then wil loose all those games. . I myself liked tri-peaks & Poppit. but now all gone.  Maybe they are making room for some new games ?

Got my hand out waiting cuz I've purchased 5 .. and you betcha their hand was out when I bought them.

[disneyland lady]

 I would be on them immediately wanting all the badges I still needed OR a refund.

I've already checked this out and was informed that the games were "third party' entities and no longer affiliated with EA.
They said the downloadable games are non refundable, therefore, if the badges are not won by the end of October/16 they will no longer be available.

I guess they got us comin or goin! That's EA for you...

so no refund but I do not want my money back - I would insist they give the badges. I have all of them but I have friends who do not. Diner Dash has been MIA for ages but I just got the 5 badges for someone last month.

They are going to hear from me!  LOL

Good luck Squiddy ... keep us informed!

Ok, I got full refunds for all the games I bought and for which I could produce receipts.  Then because I told them I was really getting miffed over empty promises and the inconvenience of having them take up my time this way, they gave me 25,000 gems.  So, I guess I was satisfied.  Then I woke up from the dream.

Stay tuned... this ain't over!

You almost had me there, Squiddy!!

Greetings,
The Poppit Show had/has 11 badges, all the rest have 6 each.  Luckily I was able to max out on my two main accounts.  Well, of course I used the autos that are still available.

I tried to get some of the badges for my dummy accounts.  Called the company a few years ago...yes they answered...and are still laughing 

Thanks again for the updates,

This download game is new and being offered on Pogo for purchase:

Delicious - Emily's Message in a Bottle Platinum Edition

Who on earth would buy a download game from Pogo or any connected 3rd party when 9 downloadable games, bought and paid for, are being discontinued? 

[disneyland lady]

Because they are counting on the newer Pogo players who have not spent the money on downloads . This is exactly what they did when EA discontinued SIMS which was a known popular revenue maker and gave EA players Roller Coaster for free. And the Delicious Emily download is the 12 or 14th of the series. I had 1 of them Emily's Tea Garden in 2009 as an app on my iPad but got over it.
