Even though this is an independent site, it wouldn't be a huge stretch to have someone actually involved with Playdom actually post an announcement or something. Something to help slow the android crowd from leaving before we get new content.
Well, considering that we're not "official" enough or something in their eyes to even be mentioned or linked to on the PD Forums, I find it a huge stretch indeed. Yes, the wikia and links from it get scrubbed from posts, you'll get a warning message, you could even get a temp ban for it, depending on the Staff you come across. It was my first infraction there :P
Part of the reason why could be not having as much control over unreleased content, hence the recent reminder from Doc, or the perception that we don't. But only fools claim to know anything going on within Playdom.
It is possible that we have users here affiliated with Playdom. But assuming they had information that most people wouldn't, do you think they'd risk sharing it? There's proper channels they run through to release information. Breaking that could be job termination at the least, a lawsuit at the most. Game companies like their confidentiality agreements.
I feel for you guys. We on facecult don't hear as much as we'd like, most of the time it's advertising stuff we already know like we've got no short term memory. When it is something new, it's usually delivered by some idiot attention whore that thinks the majority of what they say needs to tease something or be cryptic. But you guys are in the dark completely. We do share the copy/paste Support responses though, that service seems to be the same quality across the board.
Honestly, I never saw the appeal of the Mobile platforms. Even if I had a device, I wouldn't be able to accomplish my goals on those, it seems like you guys are getting what we got, bugs and all, when you could be getting to experience what we have now while you catch up to us. If you have the desire to play, I'd use an app or whatever legitimate means available to play our version on your device. I know Puffin works for iOS, but Android already supports Flash so IDK your guy's analog. Sure you'll be starting over, but at least you shouldn't feel like such bastard stepchildren to them.
