I guess I don’t see why the game would be gone within a year. With lots of other silly browser based games available for free on the web, why should someone fork over the money to play here? Sure there is the community and the ongoing content and blah, blah, blah. I don’t really care. I don’t play silly browser games for the community. I play silly browser games because they are a fun way to kill time.

I realize it may seem off topic, but I HAVE gotten my friends to play this game. You know what happened? They played through till they found out you couldn’t continue without paying, then they stopped. This is an anecdote but is it an uncommon one?
