Pogo has made an official statement that their agreement with Arkadium (the games developer) has ended and the games will no longer be available to play.

Interesting.

I can confirm this as I had badges that were not done and they have been rewarded.

We wanted to let you know that, unfortunately, as of today you will no longer be able to play the following Flash games on Pogo.com:

- Match & Merge
- Pyramid Solitaire
- Score
- Space Hunt

These Flash games were previously available on EA through an agreement with Arkadium Games, but this agreement has now expired.

Any Badges purchased for the games listed above will be auto-awarded to your account by Monday, November 19th and will remain in your Badge Albums.

While EA no longer has the license for the games listed above, please know we are working with the developer to secure new H5 titles and we continue to convert our existing Flash titles to H5 titles on Pogo.

Thank you for your understanding.
The Pogo Team

I liked FreeCell and, occasionally, Sudoku.  I wonder why they didn't renew.

The same thing happened with Hasbro. Maybe they'll end up renewing after a couple of weeks?

True, it may still emerge.

Whatever the reason, it's all about the money.

Mayhem

True, but how popular were the "light & fun" games? I don't remember seeing any more than double digits at any given time.

Perhaps that's the reason why they let the agreement expire?

If not enough people are playing the games and it's costing more than it's worth for the rights to the game, Pogo might decide to invest in something different.

If I remember correctly, those game are easy to play and win without buying gems.  Maybe that was a factor.  Those in game Power Up purchases would help offset the cost that pogo paid to the producers of the games.

Hi,
Is "Freecell Solitaire" the same as "Payday Freecell Solitaire"? 

Thanks

No, they were different games.
