But it were this few from this so unimportant minority that filled their Kickstarter project with money, making this thing get so far. Advertising for it. Sharing propaganda and knowledge. They are the ones that could do this in the future with an end product making it desirable. Right now I don't see the usual FB people buy this thing. I see nobody really besides the gamers. Most of the people won't have a gain from it. This is not for MOST OF THE PEOPLE. It will remain an product for minorities for a long time.
They betrayed the gamers and this people will now jump on every possible alternative that comes around (and we've heard that there are things coming up already). Also they will hesitate to trust anybody else on something they love that much. This will hurt other start ups.
How about friendfeed? It was a direct competitor to facebook. Also left alone, still working the same, no ads or gimmicks added: http://friendfeed.com/ ... the only thing that's changed is improved uptime. Or instagram?
Are you really comparing those exchangeable webpages to a revolutionary human interface device?
All these webpages will go. Like FB. The device will remain there until we manage to implant something directly in our brains. We are talking about a new "mouse" here.
