Make something people want, but not too much?

Some people want crack. That doesn't make crack dealers honorable professionals.
Only two kinds of people call their customers "users"; drug dealers and software developers.
Of course the only reason we deem them generally dishonorable is because the government declared cocaine illegal.
That's not the only reason. Tobacco is legal, and people consider tobacco companies dishonorable.
Because of what they did to deceive the public. The alcohol companies don't have the same problem.
Nor does it make those who produce crack "talented".

The only drain is the one caused by Farmville itself. The one that the time goes down.
