(letter sent to Popcap)



As a player for 4 years it is not to my liking that pig poker stardust is being shut down. I am not sure if you understand the implications to what will happen, if it is money you are needing to keep the site going and more mods, us members are willing to help with that. Many of us have applyed to moderate full days but you see no one listened to those who would moderate a room all day for free as long as we can just play. A lot of us don't do anything else because we are stay at home moms, or work hard all day to play and relax with friends. They need the moderated game play to be able to relax at the end of a hard day. There have been many decent players who would give their right arm to be a moderator and help make pig poker a most decent place to play games, no one gave them a email to accept their application for being a mod, I was one of them who is in almost all day every day. Most regular members and mods do a great job of keeping the bad players out. If you got complaints, the person should be banned.

Members will have depression over this due to the large numbers whom play at popcap multi player games and you do not understand how this will affect people. It is not just a simple shutting down of multi player game.



It may seem like only a game but its where members meet to discuss daily lives and talk to long time friends. It is where some of us who have had a hard

day come in and know someone will be there to listen, why because there are true friends there, not just chatters.

It is not just a game, you have to understand that people by the triple dozens come daily and every day from waking up to going to bed playing and talking and playing with friends.

It is an unjustice and it does not matter how you explain to make it better, it will still not fix the pain inside of not being able to see others who go to stardust cafe and other rooms. Being there for 4 years, I may have seen a few bad names and scrollers but not to the extent that it has to be shut down. You should see phsycobabble and the other games where chat is worse.

I feel that if you decide to shut down pig poker you are letting down your customers,letting down people and no matter what apology, we won't accept it because you are making many lives change. I know many will refuse to purchase your games, will refuse to visit your site as why should we support you by wasting our internet costs on you.



It is not fair. I refuse to come here any longer as will many many others whom come into popcap. You shut down pig poker, you shut down your customers. As far as I am concerned once the multi player games are done, so are tons of your customers. You need to listen to us.I hope that maybe someone will listen and think about ways to keep it running or upgrade and be a more conservative game site like pogo or msn. They have blocking for the bad language, they will not accept bad names, they also only allow one name per legit email address. All of this can you please take into consideration. If you want to turn it into a membership type payment for us to join, the do so but please reconsider shutting down the multi player games, I hope you will listen.



You are ultimately going to make or break your site by shutting some areas down. I will pass on the fact that others should petition coming into your site, I hope that if you do shut down multi player games, that people will see that it truly is about politics and not about the people. What a waste of 4 years of my life such is the case to see a game I so love and so does my family be shut down. I ask you again please reconsider, this is not a good thing to just shut down the multiplayer games. Please do not email me with a cheesy response letter apologizing but that you are still shutting the games down, the letters we all hope to recieve is one of that your going to keep this site.
