I agree there are many parts to running a business other then just programing. But you are wrong about 3rd party apps not bringing in revenue.
*Facebook app may not have directly brought you revenue but it brought in new members and new users to your site.
*Autoplayer makes users happier and more likely to keep wanting to play and pay for memberships.
*aigamez.com and be imbeded into your site allowing for you to make money through advertisement like facebook does with 3rd party apps as well as giving your paying customers something to keep them ocupied and happy when they are waiting for other users to make there move.
Sites like facebook would be nothing without 3rd party apps. It is the 3rd party apps that keep people coming, playing, and spending more then 1 min a day on the site. I will not say I am an expert in any way. All my web sites lose money daily but they are fun to work on and hopefully with hard work aigamez.com will at least break even some day.
mctrivia: For those who want to think about how much money Fencer is or is not making, I'm NOT renewing my membership because of the way tournament rounds don't advance here. I don't need to pay money to be stuck in the same tournament for the duration of my entire membership without my opponent making a single move in a meaningless game! Somebody let me know when that works properly and maybe then Fencer can have some of my cash. That we even have to ask, repeatedly, for such a 'feature' is asinine.
Thad: When you subscribed a Brain Knight level, you might have noticed how many tournaments you are allowed to play simultaneously and it could give you a hint why the majority of paying members choose a Brain Rook instead. I will not many ANYTHING faster only because you threaten not to renew your membership - that is, usually, the least effective kind of attempt.
mctrivia: That's partially true but you forget one important thing - all points you have listed may bring a revenue in a longer time persepective, not instantly. On the other hand, hardware and connection issues usually happen immediately and without further warning, not to mention other aspects which are tightly related to them. So I have to repeat myself - a further support for 3rd parties can be done when there is time for it. Otherwise, our full effort is focused on things which bring a revenue a little faster.
