Thank you for the information.

sheesh, is there ANYTHING left?

LittleFawn · April 23, 2019, 07:47:12 PM

They might be replacing some of them. I keep getting surveys to fill out on what kind of games I play and like. With Java and flash going they do not have much of a choice and maybe at a later time they will bring back some of them.

Thank you for the update. This is very sad that some of my favorite games are leaving...

My thoughts exactly!

I have a feeling some of us might not be renewing our membership if they keep this up without any replacements.

WOW! Thank you.

LittleFawn · April 24, 2019, 10:15:59 AM

I will keep going on. It might not be the best as it was but I enjoy most of the games here as I can play them by hand. It is sad that they have to drop many of the games.

These games might not be gone forever. Pogo has stated that :

With Java and Flash technologies being phased out across the internet, we will be retiring some of the Java and Flash games on Pogo in June and July. Please note that while these games are going away, there is always the possibility some will be updated and brought back later.

I totally understand that Pogo may revamp some of these games and bring them back but I am not filled with great confidence. I don't want to be a downer but guess I am in regard to this...

Mayhem · April 26, 2019, 12:40:08 AM

I understand where you're coming from ... I'm a bit skeptical as well.

I just want to add that Chuzzle Slots (which was not on any of the lists) will be retiring on May 21st.

If you have any unfinished badges or haven't ranked out on it yet - now is the time to do it.

I don't think those bucket games are very popular.

MsMissy · April 26, 2019, 08:12:01 AM

There are so many games leaving us, but always new 1's coming. I personally wish they would get rid of some of the card games. Way too many for me. Its killing my mouse. LOL

Stinkerbell · April 26, 2019, 08:50:21 AM

Anything they remove/revamp will have "in-game purchases" added to the update.

Mayhem · April 27, 2019, 12:54:29 AM

That does seem to be the trend.

I think Club members should get a break on in-game purchases - just like we do on HOG episodes.

Greetings,
What does this mean? Will POGO add Badges?
Thanks

It means that games we used to be able to play and win without having to buy powerups are being revamped into games where powerups have to be purchased to win.

Like all of the new releases, they make the games so hard or time restrictive that you have to buy powerups or episodes to win or even just play at all.
