As a side note, if anybody wants to support a couple awesome indie devs (and play a sick mobile game) check out http://subterfuge-game.com/

Just started playing a week ago, already in love. Found out on their forums & reddit a couple days ago they're already planning to stop development because in the 3 months they've been on the market they've lost $40,000.

EDIT: Also, their freemium is non-intrusive (Which is probably why they're sinking). Play for free, upgrade for $10 to be able to play multiple games at once and play rated games.

The most accurate (and amusing) description of that game I've heard is that it is a "backstabbing simulator".

I was in the alpha and had to delete it from my phone, it was too addictive. It's disappointing to hear that they're having money troubles, their game is pretty unique and deserves a better fate.

Except really it doesn't. While it might be unique it's clearly not what the market wants. I found the tutorial lengthy and confusing. The game doesn't have mass market appeal. Did anybody really expect this game to do well?
