For anyone more curious about the technical side than hilarious (to me, anyway) legal mumbo jumbo, perhaps the more interesting bit is that someone bought this company in 2020 to do a from-scratch re-write of the software and chose to implement the backend in C++. The app is launching now, 3 years later.

When's the last time you heard of someone building a web app from scratch in C++? Maybe OkCupid in 2004? Pretty interesting that a team would choose to build a card game web app in C++ in 2020. 

 @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?
