It's a spit on the face of the whole BB userbase not to have even a single preview of what's going on, and how things are going to look in the future.

Mind you, it's the same userbase that managed to somehow keep this game alive with their support through all the uncertainty and BB's decline.

I would rather not know that only a select few have had access to a preview because the userbase has been begging for months to see something. So many people have been playing this game for more than 10 years and many even for more than 20 years always paying supporter during this time too.

Heck Alonso somehow has managed to get his hands on a preview, whereas not even the PT GM has had any access to any preview, something that would be an excellent opportunity to build excitement within the community, is instead turning into disappointment regarding the new owners method of communication, even if they present a good result in the future.

This team has only one mobile app, which has had terrible reviews in recent years. At the same time, the development of the mobile version of BB was halted. It's very strange to stop working on something they're actually competent at.

Their Facebook is inactive, there are no posts on X, and according to their LinkedIn profile, the company has no more than 10 employees. Most likely, the game was purchased to generate passive income without investing in any improvements.

Besides, the game already runs fairly well — they can easily leave it unchanged for a few more seasons without a significant drop in the user base. In that sense, it was a smart acquisition. Why not sell the game later, but at a higher price?

I’ve long stopped believing that any positive changes will come from these owners.

As a dev, I am very sad. You say the truth :(

I am an optimist.

I don't think dozens of people need to work on a game like this. You said they weren't doing anything, but there are people who say they've seen the new interface. They may be slowly updating the interface with a small team. When the game's interface changes, the feel of the game will change almost completely. The current interface is ancient.

Besides, in their initial announcements, they mentioned that the coding system is outdated and needs to be modernized. I don't think modernizing the coding system will yield immediate, visible results.

If these two points are achieved, I think BB will make a leap forward:

1) New interface
2) Everything being detailed in the game guide, so you don't have to spend hours browsing forums to learn something (as the new owners have also mentioned)

Btw, they've added a “Show pickup matches” option to the Schedule page

Two lines of code. Wow.
