I love what they do. There is a BIG BUT! But, all their game IP is very much on the edge of legal. IMO if they were to get purchased by a larger group or made significant amounts of revenue, they would be sued. They are growing on the back of cloning known games without making significant changes to the games to protect from litigation. I wish them well, but worry for them.
