I hope the lobster game actually works…did anyone test it out 1st?
Yes, of course. OLM, as all content in Home, has been through a full QA cycle. Of course, as with all games, some bugs go undetected until the game is in the hands of millions of players but I assure you that the developers will continue to address any bugs that may arise post-launch.
