Hey I gotta defend cupcake crisis. Take a look at it, it looks like several levels of puzzles putting together cogs and machinery and things like that, maybe very myst-lite. It's well suited to keep a kid busy and somewhat mentally engaged. It looks like you can put it away and come back to it at any time.
It looks like it had vision and a goal and it's not the wandering overly-ambitious 20 year old collection of plot and gameplay from other media that r60 is. I'm sure that was amanda's fairly reasonable project and I could see her picking up a lot of new skills working on it and then even making a little money back for her effort. Your kid is quiet for 20 minutes in the car and now you can pay a couple bucks for another hour or so? Yeah I'd buy that.
Wu though, the viciousness of not giving her a peazley linkedin endorsement, you'll notice on amanda's twitter she was retweeting wu for awhile and then suddenly stopped, they parted ways and then wu mocks her for extending a olive branch on linkedin.
After all that work. I don't believe for a second that wu even fired Amanda. I think amanda got a new job and said she was just too busy to work on her stagnant startup stuff and wu was triggered that her friend regarded all this as a hobby and unsuccessful experiment to walk away from... and for wu it's her whole life and claim to fame, the only thing that makes her a bigshot and not a neglectful homemaker. Reality and she couldn't call it gamergate, she could call it lazy and start throwing around buzzwords like critical crunch time. Now she can start building the animation studio narrative that everyone was lazy and be careful who you do business with.
She worked on her other job and kept all the money, then she let me pay for everything but wanted her cut of my billions without any of the work!! It was her fault she didn't do what she needed!
Wu: if you want to take any of this directly for the Wu-cannon-narrative just shoot me a message with your kiwi farms account I just like to know when I have fans!
