This app is going to explode (in a good way).

Seriously, Gabe and the addmired crew understand gameplay and virality in a way that absolutely blows my mind. They're a team to watch in 2009.

Oh, fuck me. Why didn't I think of this idea. This game is going to knock the ball out of the park.

Anybody who owned a modem in the 90s knows how dangerously addictive these games are.

I don't think this worked? Maybe they have a bug or I entered it into the wrong spot.

Wow, that looks very cool.

Most MMOs generate revenue through subscriptions. I see that the iMob game itself and the gameplay are free. Are you selling in-game ads or something?

Most games like this (and all of the super proftiable ones) have monetized through virtual goods.

You buy apps that unlock virtual currency so the entire game is open but you have to pay to get ahead quicker.
