  Wow, this discussion is sure gone off topic. To answer original question: NO, no plans :)

  And we are supposed to believe you WHY?

  Someone at your level in the organizational chart of a company would not be informed of a company closing your area of the operation until the sale is closed and/or the layoff notices go out.

  Besides, even if you were informed of such a serious change in the operation, you would be sworn to secrecy at the risk of whatever future layoff compensation you might be eligible for, be that pure financial, a future position with a company management is moving to next, or a possible recommendation.

  You're simply too low on the totem pole to make such a claim.

  Also, as has been clearly demonstrated in the Attention WGT thread, even administrators in the company have no problem lying to customers. Why should rank & file workers be any different? WGTadmin has destroyed the credibility of all of you.

  I do believe him. You ask why?

  Icon has always shown loyalty to the customers. Me thinks he'd rather shut up than lie.

  And, the answer is - sorry to say - meaningless. We've been talking about many possible ways of changes to the game which he'd not address. Furthermore a "shut down" is possible unintentionally (no information behind this babbling).

  Concerning the other subject: They are just great in silence Omerta - the premier virtue of the Hold-your-Tongue-Tribe of Bay Area ;)

  Poor Icon, what ever he says gets jumped on.  He says WGT is not closing yet thats not good enough, Its like people wanted him to say WGT IS CLOSING just so they can abuse wgt even more.  Its like i havn't been away, things are still the same !!

  LOL, just wonderful...I sign up a year ago and this week is the first time I have made an effort to learn and play.  Finally am enjoying the games after a few days of struggling and stumble on this thread while researching.  Guess I am always late to the F'ing dance...and I have played enough online games to realize threads like this have some merit to consider...

   

  Any other golf simulations worth playing out there?  Google searched to no avail...sigh.

  That's the risk of breaking Omerta.

  I would have replied the same way I did even if he had said it was going to close. He lacks a high enough position within the company to give a definitive answer on this subject. Company management is simply not going to share such information with that level of employee.

  Played a match earlier and i remembered why i stopped playing for 4 months.  The meter was UNPLAYABLE. EVERY SHOT It would pause just before ding or if it didn't pause it would jump past ding.  PATHETIC!  Instead of enjoying a round I felt frustrated and angry with meter and has made me not want to continue playing.  Instead of adding POINTLESS extras like gnomes (or the latest addition i dont know what???) smooth out the meter.
