It’s days like these that we wish we had the ability to withhold the free donuts from Pogo employees when they screw up things this badly.
Pogo (and Oberon Media) sent out an email this morning to ALL Club Pogo members about Diner Dash Family Style, and how it was available for download from this page. However, we’ve checked it out and the version available for download doesn’t work…yet. (The file size is only 11bytes and if you try to run it, you’ll just get a black terminal window that hangs and hangs and hangs…)
Come on Pogo, we beg you… get your act together!
We expect someone at Pogo will figure this out soon, so don’t buy the game until your trial version WORKS. And certainly, don’t fret if your download doesn’t install properly; it’s happening to all of us.
Update 3:15pm EST Michelle wrote in to tell us it’s working just fine for her, and we just took the game for a test drive, and we’re pleased to finally say that Diner Dash Family Style seems to be available! We still aren’t taking back what we said up there about taking away their donuts, by the way.
Update 10/29/08 If you’re having problems with Diner Dash, note the following two things: one, you aren’t alone and two, you need to contact customer support for Pogo (not us — we can’t help you).
