To answer the original question: no, because the platform does not know (in general, for all games) when will be the final move.

Which is why the OP, among others in this thread are requesting the courtesy to allow a game to complete the one more move to completion.

I know they're within their rights to concede. I won't complain at people directly for doing this, but I sure will be red thumbing them. Clearly their play style is not compatible with mine.

I hate the feature, and usually red thumb anyone who concedes so that I won't have to play with them again, but it would be much better if the site just let me play on no-concede tables only. Let the conceders play with each other and not with me.
If you spent days going trough the game you know exactly how badly you beat your opo. You don't need the final score you already know.

This is such a tiresome straw-man argument.

It's not about "seeing how badly you beat your opponent." There are many reasons to wish to see the final game state. I view the final game state for a variety of reasons, whether I win or lose.

Stop arguing against a point nobody is actually making.

Cos- said, "...only to never see how things turn out at the end."

Where does that say anything about "I'm upset because I want to see how badly I crushed my opponent"? For all we know, the game would have been won on a tiebreaker and the winning player did not even realize he was about to win, and simply wants to view the game state and statistics.

It's absurd that people meek attributing negative reasons and attitudes onto others just because they want to see the final game state,

I would also love this feature. I am not interested in childish players that are only here to industrially pump out as many games as possible. I also red thumb conceders as a darwinian natural selection.

You did win. They conceded. What's the problem?

I agree with this because I don't want to play with people who will force me to continue to play a game that I know for sure I'll lose.

It's permissible to just red thumb someone based on what kind of player they say they are in the forums.

Das sind alles so Neuerungen von ASMODEE. Mich stört auch wenn einer aufgibt, denn das genau die Leute die dann schreien wenn es einer bei Ihnen macht. Es spricht auch gegen diese Seite denn das Niveau ist mehr als nur ein bisschen gesunken. Die Leute was seit Corona nachgekommen sind sind Kinder. Sie können keine Regeln es muss alles vorgegeben sein. Zurücknehmen Zug dann ganzes Spiel zurücksetzten und dann Zug bestätigen. Sorry mir zeigt das, dass keiner mehr in der Lage ist irgendwas selbständig zu machen. Ich spiele ohnehin nicht mehr hier. 3 Spielgeschwindigkeiten die sich um 3 Sekunden unterscheiden und bei schneller Geschwindigkeit jedes mal 3 Minuten für den nächsten Zug das ist lächerlich und die Leute hier sind nicht in der Lage eine andere Geschwindigkeit zu wählen. Aus einer sehr schönen Seite wurde eine Seite für aus meiner Sicht und für meine Bedürfnisse nicht mehr spielbar. Aber was macht Ihr wollt wenn das und das ist es eure Zielgruppe ist . Bitteschön

Sure. If it can be said about me, it can be said about you as well.
