And I argue that if you go down this path of just innovate, start with a blank whiteboard, don't look at any other products, that is kind of Rovio getting to Angry Birds.
They made 45 games.
Every single game was totally different.
not as far as I could tell, learning from the previous failures or the market.
And their 45th shot on goal was Angry Birds.
And it was a hit.
And it was innovative.
But the odds, that's wildcat drilling.
And do you want to have those odds?
Or do you want to do what OMG Pop did, which is very similar story, but opposite path, which was OMG Pop,
created the hit game, Draw Something, and Zynga bought them.
They were the number one game and app in the app store for 60 days in 2012.
But OMG Pop was on their last dollar.
They had tried something totally innovative,
No one ever seen her or tried it before.
It failed completely.
And now they were ruthlessly, desperately in need of a hit.
And now they did Proven Better New perfectly.
They said, we're going to take this...
proven game and do everything about it in as perfect students of what is already working and viral on mobile and they perfectly copied our turn-based system from Words with Friends and they made a massive hit.
