Yeah, I was surprised to see they removed them... I think they should put them back even if its near the bottom if they want the top area to be Staff Updates. I know there will be future episodes added but the past episodes were winning people over to up or back the project in some cases so they should fit somewhere.
I also think they need to add more to the "Interviews" list. They've done a LOT more interviews with LOTS more juicy info and so far they only have 1 interview listed from May 15th...
EDIT: Apparently there is a Press page on BigFinish website, they should put a link to that in place of
"Recent Interview with Adventure Gaming Classic"
here it is:

Overall I'm hoping the page gets an overhaul in a future update. Maybe theyre going for less is more but I don't think it works to draw in those who aren't already big fans. I backed Jane's project though I wasnt familiar with any of her work beyond GK2, mainly based on skimming the important info and looking at the images. I didn't have much time to sit through videos (beyond the initial pitch) or chunks of text to get all the rest of the info and right now I think the Kickstarter info for Tex Murphy is predominantly in videos and then a chunks of text with not much info presented via visuals and such. As a fan I didn't need much convincing but I have heard others liked the pitch but upon skimming the page nothing jumped out at them.
EDIT: Now they've removed all the Update videos too.... I think that the Update videos were stacking a bit too high above the Description but they could put them under some flashy visual banners throughout the page after the Description e.g. "Gameplay Info" banner, "Payment Info" like on Shadowrun:

Hopefully theyre just restructuring things. We know from the DRM/DLC issues noone checks or trawls back through things in the Updates tab if they're new to the page. If its not on the main page they just simply wont see it.
