Most mobile games don't make money either. He responded to that idea. http://www.puppygames.net/blog/?p=1369#comment-54311

I know they mostly don't make money, but his games are not the kind of games people play on desktop/console. Which tend to be sit down and play for a couple hours over voice with a bunch of friends.

Cas's games are more the grab an iPad and play for 20 minutes while waiting on the bus.

He would most likely have a better chance at breaking even in such an environment.

Cas didn't write Ultratron and mentions in the article he mainly writes flash and iOS games.

Clarification: the article author isn't Cas. So the author writes iOS games, whereas Cas writes Java games. (Though they are Java games which cleverly bundle their own JRE, avoiding a lot of the horror that can come with it.)

Cas is not the author of the article. Cas is a dev on Ultratron.

I thought Cas was a java programmer? Am I wrong?

Aye that's me.
