Today, I had the privilege of playing Innovation for the first time ever. It happened to be on Isotropic. I get a little gunshy about new games, so it is nice to be able to sample them online before I go out and make a purchase. With Innovation, I will almost certainly purchase the game from Amazon, but that's not really the point of this thread.
I will perhaps play Dominion at Goko from time to time, but having played Innovation on Isotropic reinforces my personal belief that Goko is not worth spending money on at this point. Please bear in mind, my opinion is only my own, but I don't think many folks here would disagree with me that Goko's rollout almost eight months ago was a debacle. I believe that the management at Goko made promises that they couldn't deliver on and still can't.
I love Dominion and I realize that Jay Tummelson at RGG has worked very hard to reach his current level of success. I will continue to patronize RGG and I will continue to enjoy Dominion up to and including purchasing Dominion: Guilds. I am NOT calling for a boycott of Goko, RGG, or any of the other parties involved. Goko will survive or fade away on its own merit (or lack thereof).
I am simply stating my intent that, when it comes to online gaming, I am personally staying with Isotropic. Chris and the other ladies and gentlemen at Asmadi Games are really sticking their neck out in allowing Innovation on a platform like this, much in the same manner that Jay Tummelson did once upon a time. I intend to encourage this kind of innovation (pun intended) in future game design, and I hope that many of my fellow Dominion lovers will hop on the Innovation bandwagon whether or not they choose to play Dominion at Goko.
