Probably discussed before but do you plan to release a browser lobby/ tables instead of an EXE ?
Indeed, I we've been griping about it for many pages. Supposedly an android client is next (which will solve my issue) then they're doing more desktop clients for other OSes, then finally html5. I dunno why it's not the other way around.
Yup, I'm one of the gripers too! I have to say, I'd love to hear the rationale as to why they targeted the "new software" they were working on so long at WINDOZE only. I know that's what's done is done, but in my opinion, even mavens using flash (and i hate flash) was better than nothing.
i think that you already know this, but....
They wanted to bring certain games and features to sealswithclubs.eu which they accomplished by PURCHASING EXISTING SOFTWARE which had the featureset that they were looking for with the intention of finishing multiple clients PRIOR TO RELEASE. Then sealswithclubs.eu was shut down unexpectedly and rather than nothing for everyone they decided to move forward with what they had while they worked on the rest for swcpoker.eu.
As an android player, I miss poker too...but griping about it here is not going to change anything.
I didn't realize that specifically they had bought some software with the intention of porting it. I guess that explains some part of what otherwise seems like a very odd strategy (ignoring browser, targeting EXE which only a few people are willing to run).
I agree with tspacepilot about the utility of griping, how can we expect change if we don't ask for it?
I would not say only a few people are willing to run the .exe. Right now during the work day US 187 players are logged. I would say that Linux and Mac users can easily run the software for free in Virtual Box or Parallels but are too stubborn against MS to even try. If they spent the time they spend complaining in installing Virtual Box or Parallelss in Mac, they would have already been playing. I guess the ones that do not have a free choice right now are Android users. Even then, you can still use it in Android thru a cheap VPS and an Android RDP client.
