 @ed709062 Hm. All this fits a stereotype of an Older Games Company for Older People who make software an Older Way, and are used to shrink wrapped.

 @888826fe Yeah, doubly so when you try the app! Full real names required (no usernames), interface feels like a 20 year old flash app, etc.

I'm curious if taking a 20-30 year old approach to web dev and making the entire thing feel like it's 20-30 years old will be a successful strategy.

It's hard to imagine that using techniques that make it take 3 years to build a simple web app will result in success, but maybe "feeling old school" dominates velocity?
