  One day a WGT employee went to his bank to check whether his pay check had gone in yet. Upon checking his account he found out he had only been paid half of what he had worked for. He went to the pay office to enquire about this as he was not happy only to be told '' Oh no, that is the right amount. You have to work twice the hours now to get what you were earning before. The higher echelon didn't tell any-one as it was a spur of the moment decision.'' 

  To that the WGT employee said '' Oh, OK''.

  I don't think so. he he he:~))

  Get real WGT. If this had of happened to you you would all be out on the street striking with banners and protest songs.

  If you think you can calm us all down with a few paltry words of apology and a ''stay classy'' you must be living in cloud cuckoo land.

  well, i look at it this way .. people mostly play this game in their free time, right ?

  sure, time is of value .. that is to say time is money when you are working & earning your due .. 

  Yup,alot of people I know play AT work,either at their desks or on the night shift whatever, effectively getting paid to play..good on ya.We still should've been warned but the apology was welcome Andy

  Can't see myself,digging in my wallet anymore to play WGT.

  No incentive for the paying customer.I am forced to watch ads.and the ones that I choose to watch for a couple of pennies are not worth my time now.

  All you guys claiming "boycott" and beating up on me are just silly. red herring FTW

  All you self righteous boycotters are barking up the wrong tree.

  Try this thread
  

   

  Poor FamousBeef getting beat upon.  Perhaps your own logic or lack thereof is the one beating up on you.  My advice is to quit while you're still behind.

  "it's not twice as much work for the same amount of money, it's half the amount of money for the same amount of work"  .. which means it IS twice as much work for the same amount of money .. same thing .. mathematically speaking of course

  It's not the same thing. There is a limited number of videos available, so you can't "work" twice as much in a given amount of time for the same amount of credits, you have to work as hard as before for half the pay. If your budget is limited to videos, it's been cut in half and there's nothing you can do about it. mathematically speaking, the equation is views times days = credits

  Sorry that we did not give you any notice, basically it was a fast decision of either taking down LG for good or make this change.  I too wish that we handled this better.

  ty, your intervention here is welcome .........classy   ...
