This doesn't work. Goko might be worth $0, but it still costs around $40. Meanwhile Isotropic might be worth $40, but it still costs $0.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Ah, the answer to "How is Isotropic like playing nine Worker's Villages and buying out the Peddlers?".

It seems to me that this decline in quality started around the time the new CEO came into the picture. Perhaps the 3 people who were previously maintaining Dominion Online are now working on the iOS app?

It's probably not any fault of the new CEO in particular, she hardly inherited a shining example of a profitable company. This was pretty much going to happen anyway.

Didn't they have a lot more than 3 employees before that? If so it's more likely that most of the staff, including the old CEO, were laid off, and the quality tanked because of the now tiny team.

It would be interesting to get a former Goko employee here to give his perspective and answer questions, or do they have to sign a non-disclosure agreement?

I didn't mean to diss the new CEO or anything. I was just wondering if maybe they're moving towards a new direction.

Also, Goko seems to be working a lot better now.

Definitely working better of late.

Perhaps they did this just to mess with our minds to make Goko seem awesome when it works, when in fact it still is not.  Kind of like how gas prices went from $2.25/gallon to $4.50/gallon in the summer of 2008, causing an outrage, but in the 5+ years since then everybody now thinks that $3.50/gallon is just fine.

Hey guys, Goko came out with this new game called "Black Screen"!  It's pretty fun, you should try it.

I'm pretty sure that's always been it. At least, there's always been some admin around with a megacurse as an icon, I assume it's been him all along.

I had a brief free look at Goko Dominion and kept my credit card safe from the looming danger...  I do miss Dominion, but I'm so happy that I decided against investing in this shambles.  How much longer can Goko last?

I like how his avatar is a perfect representation of the company he works for:



And he's only answering dumb bug threads because GokoIsGamesThatGoNowhere already answered the other ones.

Yes, this is my serious face

I know how important online dominion is to you kids, so i speak about it only in deep respect mode, (mainly because im scared you'll come round my house with a spreadsheet to prove how i'm wrong!)

Plus its been a bad weekend for me so i'm struggling to keep it light! Might spend some time away till i'm back to flippant normal!

I love the word "flippant". I wish I remembered to use it more often in casual conversation. In other news, I'm sorry you had a bad weekend.

Donald mentioned on a BGG thread that he has also been seeing these issues and has contacted Goko about them.

http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/991591/guilds-is-on-goko

Hopefully it'll help get Goko to fix their product.

Donald still hasn't responded to his post, so I assume he hasn't heard from Goko, though that assumption may be wrong.
