Hi Phaedra!

We completely understand your concern, which is why we released the game for desktop computers through several platforms over the past year!

The later posts in this thread discuss many of these versions, but for your convenience, I'll include links to the free-to-play versions of the game (which we provide support for) again:

You can download VVO2 from Steam here (Windows and Mac):

And from the Windows Store (Windows only):

You can also play the game directly in Facebook or the Facebook Gameroom app on a desktop computer:

Let us know if you have any other questions!
