Hi,

I just wanted to say that I was trying to help someone earn the Smash Hit badge. Once I gave her 100 plays, there was still no badge in her workshop. So I told the Gamestar Team and here's what I got:

Dear coconut7,

Regarding the Smash Hit badge, the reason you haven't gotten it yet is because it requires 200 PLAYERS to play your game, not just 200 PLAYS. This is to prevent users from abusing the system to get the badge by, say, having the same player play the game countless times to inflate the play count. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!

I guess I was just surprised you couldn't make games like "1000 plays please" and not get those badges anymore...
You have to have 1000 people PLAY your game now...
