I'm not familiar with DrawQuest, but why not sell it "as is" instead of shutting it down completely? Especially when you have 100k monthly actives?

- adventured 12y agoIf I'm not mistaken, they took on $3.6 million in venture capital, and that might be the complication in deciding exactly what to do with the product (that is, their partners in it may disagree with selling it for $500k or whatever it might fetch).
- moot 12y agoOur investors have been incredibly supportive -- especially these past few [rough] months. The biggest concern I have is not so much the price it would fetch (which is probably not much given recent events), but rather finding a suitable steward for the community.
- johnnymonster 12y agoI'm pretty sure there was someone who could step up. Product owners usually over value their involvement and thus never give up the reigns, going down with the ship instead of letting someone else take over.
- jmathai 12y agoI don't know. Community members usually undervalue the product owner's involvement as well. Stewarding a community is a difficult job. You need more than just passion and I imagine finding one and feeling confident that they'll do a good job is quite difficult.
