Why so many features removed lately? (Player count range, view final game situation)

[OutOfHabit]

A month or so ago, they removed the feature to set a desired played count range when setting up a game and instead required you to set a specific number. At first, it seemed to be a bug, that it accidentally matched arena mode when it wasn’t intending to, but since it has been so long without being reversed, it seems like it was intentional.

And now, the “See final game situation” button appears to have been removed.

There were a few other things I’ve seen lately that have changed for the worse or were removed, but these 2 are really irksome and impacting and I don’t recall the rest now

The first one is definitively not a bug, and there is a long forum thread with all the details about that change
The "see final situation" button was never removed. Not sure why sometimes it's not popping up, but this was always the case for as long as I can remember.

What are the "other few things" ?

Isn't this just turn based (where it's present for 24h?) vs real time?

Yeah that's probably something along the line : I would guess you can see the "final situation" only if the game is not archived yet. After that, you can't see it because only the notifications are stored, so you need to replay all of them to reach end of game situation.

Indeed, and that's only for turn based (for realtime, obviously you see the final situation directly). Nothing changed on this.

those changes are good for BGA as a whole.

No, they're not. They fudged up turn based gaming that way.

I am talking about games that ended within the last hour, often not showing the button. I usually look for it on turn-based games, i think, more than real-time.

I briefly looked for a thread a couple times but didn’t see one. Where is it?

And i don’t remember- next time they annoy me, maybe I’ll post about it

To keep trying to find no bug, wasn't there some games which were real time, but were transformed into turn based?
You don't have access to view the final game for them too.
