Knowing a lot of VCs and having seen many startups pitch I can tell you that "amateur hour" isn't a word that is used.

The problem for your argument of course is that they got much more than they asked in just 24 hours so apparently they aren't amateurs which you would know if you saw who was behind it.

So as much as I defend your right to express yourself in any way you want, the joke is kind of on you don't you think?

Yes, I suppose the joke is on me if they collect $10m, flame out violently, and inflict tremendous negative harm on the game industry and android game development for years to come, isn't it? I'm laughing already.

Money isn't success. Congrats to them on having money.

In this case money actually is success since that was their goal.

Whether they will succeed with their next phase is another question.
