I received an email from Twitch stating:
"The redesign moves half of the video player - specifically the controls - from Flash to HTML and Javascript. The video itself is still in Flash underneath the controls. However, this is an important step to releasing the much-anticipated full HTML5 player."
If WGT would follow the same path it would be a major improvement in the game.
Currently the game is VERY frustrating with numerous error messages, disconnects, and erratic performance. I hope someone in the organization can see the light and start fixing many of the performance problems that plague WGT.
