That is no way better! Of course it is worse for us players. I suspect that King have done this because it made the coding for the levels easier. There was a glitch initially, and I will copy that thread for your interest. After that King's "fix" was to make all the bombs on all the level have a count of 99! And following this they eventually brought the bomb count back to normal and now will officially fail a level if a bomb explodes. So my guess is that it makes the coding for the game outcome easier for King to control. But nobody affiliated to King has commented on this at all, even though we have asked repeatedly.

Hello @MattSeligman
This is a recent change introduced by King that makes you fail a level if a bomb explodes on your winning move. Although King didn't announce or confirm this change, members of this community have tested it and confirmed it. The change affects all levels, not just the one you experienced it on.

From the player's point of view, that change is unfavorable, of course, as are many other changes made by King over the past two years. They didn't seek the players' opinions on this, just like with many other changes they make.
Did they just turn a 'bug' into a 'feature' ?
Yes, I think it's what they did.
That change is a horrible decision likely driven by financial gain.
Agree with you on this.
