I said back in GLB1's early days that endgame for Bort would look like about fifty enthusiasts playing amongst themselves. We're perilously close to that endgame. Each banal season, each unfettered jackass on the forums, each unresolved technical issue nudges us ever closer to an unsustainable future.
Well, there probably won't be much growth while the game is working out a bunch of kinks and still really is in its early stages. I know GLB1 hit a large growth early on but that was only because of how new in intriguing it was at the time. This obviously isn't anything new to any of us anymore and well there have been a couple ventures similar in graphic detail or better that have flopped tremendously during GLB1's time also.
I tend to wonder if when this game reaches a point where Corndog has most of the large kinks settled from rookie to vet and he is able to mostly just add in features to the game such as new formations, player building upgrades, etc...if he will move on with Bort to another venture such as Mighty Brawlers or if he will be able to possibly dabble between GLB1 and 2 and come up with ideas in which to make the games more appealing and bring in new users?
