To think an individual with no capital can create for want of fulfilment and / or fame and fortune is what drove many adventurer across the centuries to do what they do best. Im not sure we will benefit from large capital investments. I see the casual game market like a world network of s in small offices and bedrooms that have innovation and creativity at the heart of their objectives as opposed to a business plan. A business plan has many more challenges and may influence some to build more to follow know successful genres rather than branch out and create that strange dream a creative might have had the other night. Perhaps some of these guys who want some real investors that really know the market should look to their own players and ask for donations or shares in up and coming games (its been done before and worked in other businesses). What do you think ? I would be interested to hear your comments back Hi Dean, I think its the small nature of the casual game market that inspires a lot of us.
