-Is this company getting $100M offers before they have a product?
-Why would Zynga want to pay that much when they bought Dextrose Labs just a few years ago? (I suppose they could theoretically complement each other, one for rendering and one for developing)
I've long thought that games would be the last bastion of native apps.
But when you consider that most mobile games are barely more sophisticated than the Flash games people have been making for years and that you're potentially leaving a ton of money on the table if you only build for one platform, it makes a lot of sense to try to push all this into the browser. In-app purchases are key but there's no reason you can't jimmy these into a PhoneGap layer.
Every time I look at the game closure site it looks more impressive.
