one thing i learned abt making games is to limit the game space, and user input. Foster a healthy community first, then introduce freedom.

what're your thoughts on HTML5 games? Since you're so invested in so many apps across multiple platforms, there has to be some thought on a cross-platform strategy. Any way I can reach you directly?

what kind of a co-founder "protects" his contacts from a fellow co-founder? Dysfunctional relationship at best. Cut him off, take everything you've built and go somewhere else. He's got nothing legal against you.
Then start learning abt VC, meeting people, and cutting deals by yourself. It's not that hard.

i think what the OP meant was the end of indie game dev for great devs who don't want to do any marketing.
in that case, partnering with a publisher makes a lot of sense. For example, Flight, the iOS game heavily promoted by ArmorGames could have gone it alone, but decided otherwise.
