Re: Multiplayer "create" versus "join"

  I don't understand why, STILL, when I select "JOIN A GAME", I end up at the top as the game creator?? I have no ability to invite anybody in this situation. If I select "JOIN A GAME" I should never, ever be the game creator. I'm sure players are tired of joining a game, only to have me cancel it, when I did not choose to "CREATE A GAME"???

  This seems simple enough to fix and I don't understand what the logic is in making someone who wants to join a game suddenly become the game creator...with none of the benefits of a true creator?

  I just cancel every game as soon as I see this happening...which I'm sure is aggravating to those players who are trying to find a game to join?

  What is so hard about this?? If I want to create a game, fine. If I want to join a game, I should never be made the game creator, with none of the benefits. This has gone on way too long...please fix this!

  It's very simple really.  If two or more players within the same parameters select "Join a Game" when no created game exists, WGT is going to bring them together, in which case someone has to be the game host (yes, without the privileges a normal game host has).

  It's not perfect, but I can't see a reasonable alternative without making someone wait potentially a long time for someone else to create a game.
