It's not that weird to invest into a project like this. Browser based game too. Software development doesn't come cheap though. Even browser based developer come in at the lowest mid 40k east coast mid 75k west coast. And that's for the lowest level developer. Unless this is Indy style development, a considerable amount of money needs to flow in to support the entire team. | ||

From press seems like at least one big guy, maybe Series A as well. | ||

That was possibly the least awkward HotBid interview... he's really losing his touch. | ||

Will keep a keen eye for his MLG casts. Sad to see him go, but I'm sure it is in his best interest. | ||

I really wished hotbid would've asked that.  Nevertheless, awesome interview by hotbid, hope to see more of that! He said at the beginning it's in San Jose, California. This is in the Silicon Valley which is the venture capital CAPITAL of the world. They can theoretically have a shit ton of money. | ||

And Puzzlejuice, which was also fairly huge a couple years back (as in reached the top of the sales charts and was featured on the front page, and remains popular still today). His roommate is a fairly well-known iOS developer (though he now has ported both Threes! and Puzzlejuice to Android). I had heard of him before Day9 talked about him and Puzzlejuice on a daily a couple years ago. Also, yeah that is so insane. I know so many people who play Threes! and all the Threes! derivatives (1024, 2048, that chemical reaction game that is really neat, etc.) in real life. | ||

No one can do SC2 forever and this is the time he needs to build his career. | ||
