One thing I think many social game developers completely forget is that most of your revenue in any traditional business should come from repeat customers, but the whole experience of transacting with many of these games leads to a whole lot of "buyers remorse". Which in insane! People should feel happy after buying one of your products, and it should give them last value. We're not out to cheat people into making purchases they'll regret, and hopefully that'll make us stand out in the crowded spcial space.
