I can't seem to get any satisfactory responses from Zenga directly about the recent change from the Wiget Factory to the Sweets Factory. Why would you guy make a change that every player out there says makes the game worse? Why make the game worse? Didn't you do any play testing? I read the online feed back from the 1st batch of folks that you switched, and everyone hated it, so why? Please make an executive decision and change it back.
