FLASH has had an enormous issue with multi threading that these cats seemed to figure out.... do your homework they did and are going to profit from it.... if Henri works for a leading platform in 'S-Valley... he should know that... “…Resistor also brought us the dumb iGirl iPhone app”
ummm you mean the guys who were the first to market and had the top Entertainment App for months… making a lot of $$$ is dumb… the only dumb part is that statement and the peeps who spent money on it… making em rich

as for not innovative… they just paved the way for all other multi player apps … if my research serves me right … FLASH has had an enormous issue with multi threading that these cats seemed to figure out…. do your homework they did and are going to profit from it…. if Henri works for a leading platform in ‘S-Valley… he should know that…

Think Tetris, not World of Warcraft. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see that even the larger "guy games" are going browser-based and how much can already be done in terms of graphics and game-play within the browser these days. This trend away from installed games and towards the browser is there both in casual games as well as the large ones.

This news belongs on an MMORP News site not on TechCrunch unless TC plans on having a whole new section dedicated to gaming news and startups that have raised money for them. There is nothing innovative about this game. I should know because i work for one of the leading free-2-play game publishers in Silicon Valley. This is definitely the year of MMORPG and social gaming. This game looks like a 2D version of mortal combat.

How is this news, exactly? There are loads of MMO's, both free and paid that are exe's. There are loads of browser-based MMO's if you include the likes of Gaia Online, Habbo, and Runescape. If you include the likes of plug-in based browser MMO's, then throw in the likes of WildTangent, which has been doing this for a decade! Can't seem to find the social-network component of this. WTF is this doing on TechCrunch??? Ok, I’ll bite…
