Reminds me of GetSatisfaction, in the sense that they are setting up an ad hoc community around someone else's product in hopes that the product creator blesses it as the official community.
That's one of our strategies.
While we are actively pursuing opportunities with developers, but we also want community to flourish even without the developers present.

Developers are welcome to send us an Email to "claim" their community, and they can also bring the entire community into the game. Our in-game app is a web application that runs inside the game itself utilizing UIWebView, as far as we know, we are the first one who do this. There are a lot of advantages over SDK.
I have been with the HN community for a long time, so I value you guys' inputs. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
