Your screenshot has the blocked cookies icon at the end of the address bar. Chrome is probably also blocking local storage.

I see, I didn't notice because this is the default behavior. I wouldn't expect to need to enable those things to play a game, either. I may have rejected local storage without really thinking about it, if so the game should give instructions that it is needed.

As well it should, there are third-party cookies from ten different domains that try to get set on that page.

I don't see how that follows. As far as I know, I have default settings in Chrome for both cookies and local storage, yet I'm seeing the same thing as they are, running 17.0.963.66 on Mac.

EDIT: OK, if I uncheck the "Block third-party cookies and site data" option, it does work. You guys should consider this a bug.
