Closed source software like games? Yeah that brings a lot of users and money. Open source software on the other hand does not.
Oh, you should tell that to id software. They made code of popular games like Doom and Quake open source. I guess they get no money.
It is even easier for online games: everything can be open source, but somebody needs to run server. The original developers will likely know how to do it in the best way.
Devcoin promotes free software and for this reason will have the same difficulty getting revenue from programming that it has from writing.
Do not talk about things you do not understand, OK? There are many companies with market cap measured in billions who offer free software.
Venture capitalists don't invest in small scale software projects that could be funded by Devtome.
They do, you just have no idea how it works. I work for a software startup, FYI, and I know a bit or two about this.
