My guess is simply that the profitability on these sorts of games is tanking as the market has been direly mistreated and polluted. What 's worse, is that since many of these users were not gamers before exposure to the F2P social environment, the experience will sour them on gaming ...
I 'd love to see more attention/acknowledgement of competitive gaming but I think the main problem is just that it remains a very small field. More importantly, I don 't think you can easily predict that you 'll be hitting the level of success that makes it a real possibility ...
Thanks for the info on your percentages. I 'm not surprised, just a little sad to hear it since I really dislike the psuedo-F2P model that seems to prevelant in the industry right now. Clearly we all need to be paid for our work, but I hate being held hostage ...

Agreed. He wanted a lot of money for a project that just didn 't look that sexy. I think the mistake is in thinking you can simply fund full large games this way. Getting millions for your game idea is a fluke, not a reliable occurance.
Interestingly, the prior system report / Tribunal actually led to a very negative environment. Because you could be reported and potentially punished by anyone, the end of most games became a big spam-filled hatefest as people busily lobbied to make sure there was always a chosen 'report target ' to ...
