Why can't people talk anymore in game rooms without using messenger?

Question

You used to be able to talk to people in game rooms by clicking on their name and talking. Why cant you do this anymore??

Answer 1

that feature is blocked to cut down on cheating.if you do this you can chat in room.
1st thing you do when you get in lounge is check small windows in options box.once in room expand it to see chat area.you only see half of cards but you can still play.

Answer 2

I would guess to many people cheating maybe?
