Also want to chime in that just building the core features (or shall I say a very simplistic version of the core features assuming two weeks time) isn't going to make an app successful. Rather, it's handling the endless amount of

The most obvious market is someone who wants to play a game they've been anticipating for awhile but doesn't want to build a PC just for it. Another is a consumer who has been away from gaming for awhile but wants to get back in.

Very common, especially with friends. Everyone goes through these pains. It's easier to talk than to walk. Don't be so hard on yourself about it, just adapt and move on :)
