I for one think that its a huge mistake for small (even medium) sized companies undergoing proprietary software development. What is the point?
Online poker has been around for almost 20 years. There are thousands of software providers for poker for reasonable prices and have been upgraded, and debugged hundreds of times. By all means if you have features you'd like to add, its always good having your own dev team for small projects, and UI/designers to make your brand unique. But to develop a software from scratch? Hope you got a lot of money, time and patience for that. I don't see the point.
UNLESS - you are doing something completely different! Like a provably fair poker room or casino, or a new game. Something that would require you to start from scratch. However, from what Ive seen on SWC there is nothing unique about the software, its not bad, just def. not unique.
Hope the problems get sorted out. I wasn't affected by the recent rake issue, but I do jump on their from time to time for a little HU or tourneys.
I'm confused. Isn't your site developing its own software? Or are you just skinning something like Enterra?
Most of the actually good software owners aren't interested in licensing. WPN has been willing to, and maybe that would be an ok option, but it hasn't gone very well in BTC-land.
I rather not talk about my software on the SWC thread, rather if you have any questions regarding my brand you can post it on my thread or send me a PM and I'll happily answer any of your concerns.
