There is an unseen sload amount of hard work placed in Glitch

Maybe someone could buy the IP cheap, add in some Zynga-style dark gamification and massive marketing and have themselves the next Farmville. Wait, forget I said that. Giants forbid.

Does this mean hard work != successful?

On the Web, hard work never guaranteed success.

And contrary to physical media, on the web, hard-work does not leave traces, and no recognition in the distant future.
