Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

They’re spending about $70 per month per player.

The developers have taken out a bank loan to keep the demo running. A free demo where the whole way the game works relies on a paid service.

The financial end game here is not clear. Who will pay for this in the release version? The developers think the players will.

Can't wait for these jokers to learn the hard way that they don't understand The Market.
