That's your Monday release.

Stupid sexy nowhere to be seen Flanders!

Also, it is actually a decent game.

The premise reminds me of the book "Renegades" by Marissa Meyer or "The Boys"...

What if instead of releasing a game every Monday and Wednesday you made sure that the announcement and the game worked well?
You don’t respond to people and check your announcements.
You forget Stupid sexy Flanders.
The only thing you can do is moderate the comments that you find slightly offensive.
Give us proper Flanders and more thought out announcements!
That would be super.

Both the announcement and game are fine for me.
You seem to be complaining about the announcement and functionality for a game you haven't even played once.

Personally, I don't care for the random Simpsons character Easter egg in announcement graphics, since it seems to be unnecessary and irrelevant. I'm sure most board game publishers don't have any particular reason to want this character as part of their board game graphics/branding, if they're even aware of this happening, especially considering that, as far as I'm aware, BGA doesn't own the copyright for this character. The focus of the announcement should be the board game release itself anyway, and this Easter egg only detracts from that. That being said, I don't really have anything against it being there if it helps to garner attention for the announcement, but it not being there in every single announcement seems like a trivial thing to be upset about.

I for one appreciate the actual games being regularly released and the efforts of the developers of each game and of the developers of the site itself to release them at this cadence.

I agree.

The person complaining, for some reason, also seems to assume that the person making the announcements for new games here is also the one in charge of getting them released and the one who should be responding to complaints, and on top is the one moderating everything here. That doesn't seem fair at all to me.

The "About" section on the game's page (https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=super) says: "The goal of the game? Attract 60 million followers as quickly as possible."

I think it did help draw people in and actually read the announcements and maybe see a new game to be interested in.

It's more the downhill trajectory things have been taking. Seeing a well placed Flanders was like seeing green M&Ms in a bands dressing room, it meant care was taken to get the finer details right.

Recently it looks like they started using AI to add Flanders with poor results. On top of that, images were not displaying fully, tutorial links were broken, game rules missing, incorrect information about a games release status. So no one bothering to check if everything is correct before posting. That combined with the fact that even when these issues were pointed out nothing was done about it and no response posted about "we will look into this" shows the lack of care that has become the norm from the admins.

So for them to give up hiding Flanders and again not bothering with a "we enjoyed this but will no longer be doing this" just seems to reflect how much they care about the users, or what they pushing out.

I do agree that there seem to have been a number of mistakes in recent announcements that were either poorly addressed or not addressed at all.

This is the thing. Is it a big deal? No.

But it's weird for something like this to slip through: https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/newsi ... er-918.jpg

Both game images and titles are cut off. As far as I can tell, anyone glancing at the site sees it, on any desktop or mobile device, in any language. It doesn't take extensive review, it just takes a human glance.

The last dual release examples I found don't cut the titles off like that:
https://x.boardgamearena.net/data/newsi ... er-785.jpg

One would assume the publishers would prefer their full game titles be shown in the image, and the work involved to fix the image is trivial, but who knows.
