I really enjoyed the quote from founder Mark Pincus: " Games should be accessible to everyone, anywhere, any time; Games should be social; Games should be free; Games should be data driven and; Games should do good."
I hope more game developers take this (especially the last point) to heart. Too many game developers are latching onto publishers who demand games on an unreasonable timeline. To give one example, Valve is a testament to how putting the appropriate amount of time into development of a game produces great results (not to mention an amazingly loyal fan base).
That said I do understand game companies need money to produce these games but I do think a culture shift is in order and publishers need to realize great games take time. I think they undervalue how much more money a great game make than a good game. Also nothing builds more hype than anticipation!
