My take on the world
Popcap Games and Bejeweled Blitz
As you are probably aware Popcap Games have a facebook exclusive edition of Bejeweled called “Bejeweled Blitz”.
They have added new things to the game to make it even better to play, however when they do it, they screw the pooch on the server side and they get lots of complaints.
Instead of just disabling the game, they disable their whole page, which prevents people from interacting. Why not just disable the game and still give your fans a chance to interact?
Sure they’ve got the 50% offer on again, but they can’t keep offering it, people aren’t going tocontinue taking them up on it. Find some other way to keep people happy.

I can't believe they are asking for money to get credits.
I have bought the Bejewelled2 to play and I won't be spending another penny. What a darn cheek.
Hi there,
Popcap never ask for players to buy credits for Bejewelled Blitz or for Bejewelled 2. They were offering 50% off Bejewelled 2 as a sweetner so you can play offline. They're not forcing you to buy the game. You just have to wait until the game is working again online if you don't want to buy it.
My point was they keep offering the 50% off, they should be offering something different when there are technical difficulties.
Okay only just noticed the new facebook credits function. Looking on the surface popcap still aren't asking you directly to buy credits, it's facebook that's asking you to buy credits to use in the games.
