How to legally clone any billion-dollar business
"FarmVille 2 came out with a lot more lessons and mechanics and made more revenues. I know FarmVille 2 did over a billion in revenues. No one at that time thought a video game, definitely not a casual video game, could do over $1 billion in revenues."
Mark Pincus disclosed that FarmVille 2 generated over one billion dollars in revenue, a milestone no one believed possible for casual games at the time. The original FarmVille reached 30-32 million daily active users at peak, with 15-20% of all Facebook users playing it. The company was generating $450 million in free cash flow annually before going public, having bootstrapped growth without spending raised capital.
