That may be due to how I've implemented Facebook audience network in my games, or it could be the way Admob mediates traffic to FAN. But the evidence is that using the Facebook ad network in my games hurt their visibility in the store. That could be a killer blow for many small studios.

The best thing about this is it reveals just how incredibly thin skinned these billionaires are, for all their money.
That's their weakness.

When I followed this principle 12 years ago to learn Android Java coding. The single screen game I wrote went on to have over a million downloads on Google Play. I still maintain it in production and earn revenue from it to this day. That game was Cherry Chaser Slot Machine.

It's more believable when you understand just how much we've poisoned and abused our modern rivers and seas. That throwing nets by hand and pulling them back full of fish animation in Civ is not far from the truth of how fishing was in ancient times

I missed your posts on the other place when it stopped showing me stuff from people I follow and started showing me posts from sketchy billionaires instead. It's good to be back!

Some elder gamers may remember a game called "Valhalla" by Legend software. It was visionary, far ahead of its time, and a great buzz formed when their next game was announced. That game was "The Great Space Race" but it was too visionary, too ahead of its time and the game never matched its vision.
