    Hey there, @zpatsfan1265.

    As your feedback wasn't specifically about the game retirements, I moved it off into its own thread in the New Pogo Experience forum to help with tracking. Those who agree can also now do a "Me Too" on the feedback.

    Thanks so much for your feedback. I'll be sure to pass it along to the Pogo team.

Thank you for understanding. Can you elevate this issue, since it seems most of the people on this forum do not like the "Find a Friend" feature. It should be called "I Can't Find My Friend" feature.... Just injecting a little harmless humor in the face of adversity. 

Is there a separate spot for submitting complaints, or will these posts be read by someone who can make a change? 

I don't know what the programmers were thinking when they changed how you join your friends on Pogo. There will be no new friends made, and old friends lost. 

Thank you all again for your patience with all of us. It's just that we're frustrated at the lack of thought in configuring the friends features.

@zpatsfan1265 The "I can't find a friend feature" sounds like a close relative of the "Customer no-service" feature which is (pretty much) what we've been experiencing for the past couple of months with (to date) 96 EA Forum pages and 942 posts.

EA/Pogo has been making unilateral decisions (as opposed to decisions based on user input) concerning which games they can most easily "invent” in order to repopulate a site decimated by “the game massacre of 2020”.

Evidently, re-skinned single player games are more easily converted than are true multiplayer games like Pogo Bowl and features (like Find-a-Friend) are easier to eliminate than to properly address.

It's always been my view that if a deadline cannot be met it isn't because the target date is too soon. It is because doing whatever it takes to complete work within that time frame didn't start early enough. I'm looking at you EA/Pogo.

With the game retirement deadline already announced, it is now too late for EA/Pogo to complete what they should have started long ago.They COULD, however, extend the March 10th “extinction date” to more closely coincide with the published (at least by Chrome) "after DECEMBER 20, 2020"  browsers' end of access to flash content date. That would give them almost 10 extra months to “catch up” and the players and extra 10 months to acclimate to new permutations of favorite games.

    Exactly my thoughts, DPQ3212. The single player games are easier to convert, and the group games were not well thought out. 

    I also appreciate your piggybacking on my comments, and your well thought out,  intelligent reply. 

    Hopefully, EA will see our posts and realize that there are real concerns. EA still has time to redeem themselves, although they won't be ready by their arbitrary March 10th deadline. We both know that it's possible for EA to extend their deadline to coincide with the real timeframe in late 2020 for the extinction of Flash and still comply like every other business. 

    Do it one at a time EA and do it correctly.
