1. Lol. Even gamers knew this was a bad move.

2. On the one hand, she’s right.

   On the other hand, games take a ridiculous amount of investment to build in the first place and most of them fail, most don’t even break even or make a profit. You have to hit the right combination of magic and luck in order to take off, and if you can’t keep up a continuous barrage of great improvements, and manage a mesmerized user base, the game dies on the vine in less than a year. It’s a hits driven business.
