Talk:WildTangent

message: I reverted these very suspicious edits because they removed important and valid information without any explanation or even an edit summary and added text that seems to be straight from the company's marketing department. Someone should check this user's edits of other articles --Espoo 05:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  destructive edits by anonymous user 

message: As a former employee of WildTangent, I KNOW absolutely for a fact what WildTangent does and does not do. WildTangent does NOT jump from machine to machine, it does not mysteriously appear.  WildTangent is in FACT pre-installed on Dell, HP, Gateway, Compaq computers.  This was my first Wikipedia edit, so EXCUSE me for not knowing all the nuances.  I simply erased false and unfactual information, such as jumping from pc to another pc. Bluballer 15:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: =============================

message: I think WildTangent in 2007 has changed its games file... Now they're not bundled with Web Driver any more... So think we should remove this critic of WildTangent. I will do, if you want to deny me, please send me a message in my talk page Hippy deluxe 06:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe something should be done, as there is views as to WildTangent being a adware type. It is recommended on all security forums as a optional removal and I believe we should say something about this.

thread_title:  marketing itself as a game console 

message: From the article: "... recently announced its upcoming Android games service launching at the end of 2011 ..."
I'm not sure anything prior to 2012 can be considered "recent" anymore. This should be rewritten.

thread_title:  "recent" in 2011, maybe 

message: There are a large number of people. (I am one) who consider WildTangent to be "malware".  It reports personal information about users and users computers, and the software is maliciously designed to be nearly impossible to remove from a computer.  It specifically disables the normal "uninstall" functions in MS Windows so that a lengthy manual removal process from an expert level user is required to remove it, (including manual registry edits, manual disabling of processes, and manually removing directories) or special third party software designed to remove it must be installed and run on the victim's computer.  (Thus; "Malware" by any definition of the word)
I don't know anything about editing wiki-pedia articles, (I was barely able to make this comment) and I don't want to "mess up" the page.  However, if someone who does edit these pages and articles is working on this one, this issue should be addressed.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I used to have a Windows ME desktop PC back in the day, and I remember it came with a few pre-installed WildTangent games on it. The ones I can remember off the top of my head were Barnyard (a barnyard-themed Pac-Man clone), Space Rocks (based on the classic Arcade game, Asteroids, but with 3D graphics, more different types of things to shoot, and really cool backgrounds. Also, each level, or maybe couple of levels, I can't entirely remember, was called an "episode"). There was also an Arkanoid clone, but I can't remember what it was called. I notice that there is no mention in the article of these games, or about WildTangent games having been pre-installed on Windows ME computers. I did notice a passing mention in the article about WildTangent games being pre-installed on HP computers, as well as several other brands, so I suppose this could actually have been the case with my computer, as it was an HP, but I seem to remember something either on the start screens of the games themselves, or possibly in the name of the folder they were in, that said something to the effect that the games were pre-installed as a result of a partnership with Microsoft. If someone could find some sources and add some information about that to the article, that would be awesome. I'd do it myself, but as a college student I unfortunately don't really have the time. Thanks. 192.175.17.29 (talk) 21:59, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
