Interesting that this is the same King I remember as King.com. Back in 2009 I was hanging out on the FlashGameLicense irc channel and watching the other dev's business deals.
I'm not sure if I ever met porter but I do remember spending a silly quantity of time talking with the other regulars.
Now one thing I do remember clear was how king.com was BIG. Not AdddictingArcade big but they had polish and felt like a real company. With the smaller flash sites you could tell it was all one person. King.com (Back then it was always .com) had people with job titles and pockets to back the biggest of games.
Now this is only a faint memory but I had the impression King.com was cutthroat. They were driven and were aggressive in games acquisition.
I might be biased, I might have known him, but I belief porter. Not even sure I blame him, there was a ton of cloning in the flash world back then and the flash portal relationships were always mysterious. It would be easy to fall for a kind guy from the portal spinning a story.
- Sparkky 13y agoYea I had a similar issue when I used to hang out in that IRC channel as well when I sold flash games. I work AAA development now, but its weird to see porter and king talking about these things that went down back when this community was full of lovable little underdogs.
