Would you be able to offer something cheaper?

We will definitely be cheaper. We are also thinking about a freemium and revenue share model. What do you think?

Startups perform best when they focus on making money in one specific way. The model you choose should be based on the economics of the software, for example how much it costs to support additional users.

It uses AIR right? Then... it kinda sucks. Ask any long-time League of Legends player about the client (made in Adobe AIR) you'll know what I mean.

I am a long-time player and while yes, the client has problems I think it's not AIR's fault. AIR is fine, maybe not perfect but it's not a good enough reason to ditch all the apps that are made with it. It's like saying "I will not browse any website made with PHP".

Would you like me to show you some terrible programs written in JavaScript? Any platform that has programs written for it has bad programs written for it.

It is true that League of Legends players generally think Adobe AIR sucks. It's also true that League of Legends players generally think they deserve to be at least Gold I. In neither case are these beliefs rational.

I do not believe Adobe Connect uses AIR. In a desktop browser; it uses Flash Player.

I thought the mobile client was built natively (Objective-C) on iOS, but don't quote me on that.
