It handles downloading/installing games for you, as well as launching them. It only runs when I tell it to (no hidden background process), and it doesn't seem like it's doing anything untoward.īasically just treat it as a DRM platform like Steam or Origin.

But I do still have the app installed on my PC, and I've had no problems with it. Well, the last time I purchased from them was in 2013, so my information may be slightly out of date too. Anyone else have recent experience with these people? Are they the scammers they seem to be? Is the damn useless 'Big Fish Game app' just spyware stealing my personal information? Since then the company has apparently been bought out by some racetrack operator. Nevertheless, I did a search on Reddit and found some pretty glowing comments, but they were all around three years ago. Honestly I feel like 'Big Fish' is one of the most aptly named con games on the internet. Damn website loads ANOTHER copy of 'Big Fish Game app' on my machine. I uninstalled the game, went to the website, accessed my account, redownload the game. No dice, this useless piece of crap won't actually let me click any menu options. Opened the 'big fish game app' and tried to use it to redownload the game. I ignored it for a couple of days, but today tried to get it working again. After a couple of weeks, when I was closing in on acquiring the last plant seed, the game quits working. And just as an aside, I'll say Plants vs Zombies is a great game, my problems are with the distributor, not the game. Initially worked fine, though every time I exit the game the damn useless game app insists on starting up. Ok, went through the whole download process again, got the game running. Next I uninstalled the useless game app, which was a mistake, the game won't run without the damn 'big fish game app' being on my computer.

Buying the game signed me up for some recurring monthly game club, but I was able to go into my account and cancel the automatic renewal with no real problem. Started the download, found the site insists on downloading this 'Big Fish Game app', was a bit annoyed, but once the game app was on my computer the game actually downloaded ok. A couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted to play Plants vs Zombies, poked around via Google, and found the best price offered was from Big Fish Games.
