I don't think it means much, TBH. Different people have different situations and different priorities. Maybe he doesn't need money cause he's already rich? Maybe money isn't a particularly important objective for him? Maybe this is part of a long-term strategy to get recognized as a leading viral game dev? Who cares? His situation his his situation. I neither think much better of him nor any worse of him depending on whether he monetizes or not. (Though there's something "romantic" about just creating a thing because you like it existing.) > If someone is gonna inevitably end up benefiting from it, I'd rather the guy who made the original rather than an app cloning team in China or some bay area tech bro. Why? If people want to play this on iOS, and the creator chooses not to provide it, or even makes an inferior version, why not let some other team create a "clone" of it that satisfies a need people have? For a forum in which so many people hate IP and copyright, this is a funny sentiment :)
