Board Game Arena

Limited time? No thank you. I won't even check it out in stores because of this.

I might be a minority, but if we received more good coop games I would definitely resub to BGA. Dead Cell is the other game I am really looking forward when there is more content.

Yeah, I have to agree, games like Sentinels of the Multiverse and Spirit Island aare mainstays for me, both digitally via their standalone apps and physically. If BGA could get something like the Arkham Files games or something, I'd be all over it.

In the past, when games have been removed, tables in progress have been allowed to conclude normally. This includes games such as PARKS, which was pulled due to licensing issues.

What means LIMITED TIME?

When has a game being on BGA cost people sales? Almost every game I've bought in the last year was because I played it on BGA and liked it.

Well, looks like ironically this game being on BGA is going to cost them at least one sale, because now I'm never going to buy it just out of pure spite.

Sorry, but to me that sounds like a total waste of time for all involved and kills any interest I had in trying/learning this game. I’ve bought some games based on experiences with them on BGA, but even those I still mainly play on here.

Man, stop cry.
We are able to play an amazing game before the phisical game releases.
You can try it before buy it for free. If you don't like you are saving a lot of money here!

Sure, for those who see BGA as a way to try new games this is fine.

I mostly play here on BGA. (Premium, if that makes any difference.) I still occasionally buy games I found here - 4 so far in about 1 year. But learning this game now comes with the risk that I might like it and later cannot keep playing it. I'd rather not. This is not really a complaint, obviously the owners of the rights can decide whatever they want. I'm just explaining why I will ignore a game that seems to fit well with my usual preferences.

Stupid sexy limited availability Flanders

Like others, I would rather this be permanent. That said, if companies want to invest their advertising dollars in creating limited BGA versions of games rather than bombarding me with Facebook ads, I'm okay with that!
