Uh oh! Thanks. That's really bad on my part. Will be fixed next update.

Clarification: the problem only occurs on links to Unpublished games.

The links to Published games in My Stuff still work.

It's because they don't have popularity adjusted ratings because they don't belong to the right table. Will be fixed next update.

You can still play-test with the new "Preview" button, just can't view the game description page.  Just in case anyone might see this and mistakenly think that they can't view their game without publishing.

Just in case some people don't know, you are unable to sneak preview story games. The same error would appear. I wrote this just in case people were asked to proofread contest entries or simply to sneak peak a story during it development.
