Chess.com changed the game review. It is so bad nowand hard to work with it. But it seems they don't care that 100s of people are complaining and even stop their membership. Mine will end in March and I will not renew it. In fact they stole a lot of my money because this is not what I paid for! Ridiculous! They don't care at all. They didn't even mention it. Yeah, one time when the ceo was forced to answer a question in a live stream, otherwise they don't care!
Staff have taken a lot of feedback and made some changes based on the feedback. Not everyone is going to be satisfied with site design decisions and staff have to balance site plans with feedback.
There have been a lot of changes through the years and the previous iteration of the product was Game Report went through changes, eventually becoming Game Review, which has also had a lot of changes since release.
Each update has members that dislike them and others that like them. As you mentioned, that was brought up in the State of Chess.com broadcast and Danny (the Chief Chess Officer) mentioned some of that. I don't recall Erik (the CEO) mentioning Game Review on his segment but I'll have to rewatch that part.
stop lying already
the new review is the same poc it was when it first came out
Still tons of missing features, non cohesive UIs, etc.
Wtf is there no button to flip the board on the review ? Why do i have to click on the (quite hidden) analysis button to then click the flip button and click on review again ?
Why is the graph going from top to bottom ?
Please explain any of these é"''-ù$^ù$ decisions that make no sense.
Sometimes attempts to simplify things just make them more complicated... common core math is one example, game review is another.
That said, the angry tweens on here should learn to distinguish between some real animus the site has toward them and the regular kinds of problems that any large scale engineering effort encounters. Yes I am sorry to say that you are living in the real world, your virtual womb is an illusion.
Firstly, I'm not a tween. Secondly, I've professionally coded long enough to know a cop-out when I see one. Thirdly, I've offered twice to be hired as a freelancer to fix the problem myself because I'm actually trying to solve the problem - which isn't just for me but for everyone who uses the site. Lastly, if you're gonna chime in on a conversation just to spread your assumptive opinions about someone you don't know, don't hide behind your pseudo-intellectual passive-aggression, have the balls to address me directly.
Firstly, you could have fooled me, you don't conduct yourself like an adult, throwing tantrums about things.
Secondly, you could have fooled me, since you seem to ascribe typical organization engineering problems to animus the site has toward you which is a ridiculous assumption I'd expect from someone who knew nothing about how organizations work.
Thirdly, why would the site staff ever want to bring onboard some emotionally irregulated individual and sink large amounts of time / energy into bringing them up to speed in the codebase when this will actually take longer than it would take to fix the bug, when infact the reason the bug isn't fixed is they have more pressing priorities than either of your suggestions...?
Lastly I think I've been pretty clear, but I hope this makes things even more clear.
Carry onward!
Being fooled's got nothing to do with it. Suspiciously, it seems you wished I was a child and created an excuse to engage with me. And for what, to provide a solution? No. To suggest an alternative path of resolution? No. To offer any fact-based reasoning whatsoever? Hell no. I mean, I dunno maybe trying to assert your (imagined) intellectual dominance is the paedophile version of negging but I know I speak for actual adults when I say we don't go trying to chat with random children for no good reason.
I'm in no way responsible for how you choose to interpret what you read, especially when you're exceptionally poor at doing so correctly. There isn't a single message I've posted in this or any other thread that points to me taking the bug I reported as a direct slight to myself personally, and everything I've stated is fact-based. I mean, if you don't know what a fact is you can just admit you don't.
Ok so I'll just skip past that reactionary insult from you being triggered and say the simple answer would be to get the job done. If they cared about fixing the problem but don't have capable staff, why wouldn't they hire anyone who is. And again, nothing in what you've stated is a fact - no one cares about your presumptions of how you think organisations run.
But I get it, you don't wanna climb down from your horse - it does look crazy high up there - so let me extend to you this parachute by means of an analogy that even you should understand...
In the real world, as you say, if you tried this cute stuff with me I'd likely not reply and just punch you in the face, shut it down real quick. So now you run crying to the police and they say they confirm it's a crime and will be charging me as soon as possible where I'll face jail time. They later follow up to assure you they're still working on the charging documents. Then they turn around and say the police department have determined it's not a crime and won't be making any arrests. What would your assumptions then be?
