Enable legacy revisions

Hello. We're cloning parts of an existing game, and I was all set to start copying some CloudScript from a launched game to a new game in development, but lo and behold under Automation all I have is "Register a Function".

Please give us back the "Revisions" options for Title E0513 otherwise this totally wrecks our budget, timeline for deliverables and who knows what else gets derailed as a result.

Thanks.

As our blog - Announcing CloudScript using Azure Functions is now GA (playfab.com) said, the CloudScript classichas been deprecated and the “Revision” tab will no longer be displayed in the newly created title. CloudScript classic will only remain available for titles that are already using it. We recommend all newly created titles to use the PlayFab CloudScript using Azure Functions for more powerful features.

If your PlayFab developer accounts are in the Standard Plan or more exclusive subscription plans and disabling the legacy CloudScript in your new title will affect your business, you can try to submit the request to enable it. You can navigate to your title’s [Game Manager], click the (?) icon that in the up-right corner to navigate to the [Contact Us] page, then submit the support ticket for the help. Please check our documentation - Paid Technical Support - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs for more information about the types of technical support.

Sorry but that blog post does NOT say Cloudscript "Classic" is deprecated. It did NOT announce a timeline / dates for the feature's removal and your own Dashboard "help" links still go to docs all about the old system. Anyone currently evaluating your services would believe that cloudscript "revisions" still exists.

There's no announcement under "News" in the developer dashboard!

Games are planned months in advance. Just because a title has no classic cloudscript in it yet, does not mean it was not in project planning to use it. We planned our project's needs, staffing and costs based on what was available just a couple months ago. Our contracts and budget are already signed with our client and their investors. We were counting on copying cloudscript from an existing launched game to reduce time/cost and this was factored into our budget.

Please re-enable it for our development Title: E0513 and Production will use Title 5F2DE

Otherwise we have to find somebody with experience with Azure apps, add more time to the project, include time for a learning curve and additional testing and then go begging to our client for more money! This isn't reasonable considering the lack of notice.
