Fondly remembering the time “wasted” on Kongregate.....
I remember they hosted Desktop Tower Defense - that was an addictive game.

Re: We Also Failed to Build a Billion Dollar Company
#42These titles are interesting. I have, myself, like pretty much everyone on this planet, never built a billion dollar company. As much fun as it might be to be that rich, it's never seemed to be more realistic to think that than to think about being an astronaut. So the interest to me is the metanarrative that's formed that says, yes, this is something achievable .
It’s more realistic than becoming an astronaut, but not by much. TechCrunch says there were 23 billion dollar exits in the first eight months of 2018. Call it 35 per year. That’s about as likely as being on a Superbowl-winning football team. Young people often neglect realistic opportunities for success to chase unrealistic dreams. As do entrepreneurs. https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/18/global-unicorn-exits-hit-m...

I'm guessing they have some sort of ad revenue sharing model? What type of income did you make?
They do ad revenue sharing and microtransactions. I made 8 simple Flash games that generated a bit over 20k in ad revenue from 2009-2011 (very little came from Kong though). Anyone can download and host a Flash game on their own site, which meant my games would spread to hundreds of websites and I still get paid for the ads.
Can you elaborate on the games and their processes (what was your magnus opus)
