It's one of those games which shows some pictures like a group of people, a will smith and a stone + a you which means we will rock you. there wasn't such a thing in Iran but they made good money with this game and they've got famous as well!

"They were all under 20...", So yeah, basically, kids? I don't understand journalists obsession with age. These are young men. Not kids.

in Iran not so many young people do these and they don't make that money. It's a lot of money in Iran!Think about it They made 40 times more than an average salary in 3 months

full quote: "They were all under 20 so you can imagine it’s somehow hard to believe they could pull it off" Ridiculous, yes. "Kids" used to learn high tech skills like blacksmithing and hunting.. I flagged this for sensationlism. Someone tell me if that's a bad flag..

In Iran we don't have successful apps or startups made by very young people. Our ecosystem is so young, hence no one could believe it.
