Indeed, I found this bizarre as well. How did he get into this multi-platform quagmire? The #1 thing that makes you successful in software consulting is limiting and predicting scope. By far. 2 months into that multi-platform hell, at the very very most, the other platforms should have been shelved and the iOS version released. iOS is obviously going to be 50%+ of revenue anyway. At 3 months of burn you need to now figure out if anyone would even play the thing. Even if you just release a "preview" release called "Catch the Monkey: Golden Banana Edition" with 3 levels and enough altered art to make it feel like the next version is the super awesome special 2000 edition. Honestly, I feel like he had a consulting firm. He managed to keep it above water for a couple years working insane hours, partly because he had this initial lead client which probably gave him a decent lead funnel by referral. Then a larger investor saw his client funnel came in and gave him X for 51% and the position of President, but took over running much of the operation. Finally that funnel started drying up like most enterprise services funnels do without lock-in and the free money for games dried up. Hence why he came back not as President but Programmer.
