Yay. Leave it to Disney to add something new just to take it away. Not that I liked the browser, but it seems like this whole thing was just a waste of time. I see how it's easier this way, but they really didn't need it in the first place. It's not as convenient as Disney thinks.

Now when I go to live chat, pay... It won't download the game when I do it. Yay. This is just the annoying way to play pirates online. Thank you developers for going back to the past. Now they need to replace port royal, tortuga, and padres back. Add back where you can see people on different ships. And close the doors of kingshead and add empty kingshead back, also the old Secret Dock of kings. And ect.

I'm very glad that they were able to do this - using the browser was just very annoying to me, not to mention that I find the launcher superior in terms of reducing lag and playing better.

I'm fine with all of that

I facepalmed at this. Why take something down that has full functionality? Not that I play in-browser, but I'm guessing they did this so they wouldn't have to update their plug-in every browser update.


Disney has this weird way of making me facepalm every update. Am I the only one? :P

Looks like the graphics will be more loose on this. Must be the lack of funds they are getting.

I disagree. Going to one platform is easier to support on their end. No more Web Browser support headaches for them.

This should allow them to place more focus on in game glitches and updates. One platform for all. Good move IMO.
