The winner-take-all nature of software these days is a big anti goal in my view.
Vvvvvv was lucky but a lot of people are just sucked into learning the world of growth-hacking. It might be just a sad downside of the Metcalfe effect but surely there are thousands of other games that deserved some attention too?
