• PLEASE Do not delete. This is one of the major publishers of casual games on the internet. Scrabble was one of the first licensed games to be made into a casual game download. Scrabble Blast is one of the top played games on MSN. Poker Superstars is the top texas hold 'em game on the download sites. Slingo Deluxe is one of the top selling games in the download market.

• Speedy Delete Same article as the one previously deleted [12], plus two sentences. This is not a rewrite. ~ trialsanderrors 17:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: Dave635, you are right to defend yourself, but it would be better form to place the comments in line with people's suggestions to delete. Placing this up top is a bit cluttersome. --Dennis The TIger 04:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
