bmanhour]My guess is Brad’s no longer involved. I would bet he sold out his share and ventured elsewhere. He was probably having problems with programmers and it just wasn’t worth his time anymore. Believe me I know him personally and he doesn’t need the headaches if things weren’t working out for him and his investors. Brad would never intentionally screw anyone. Whoever bought him out is the responsible character.
Sounds like you know much more about their infrastructure than I do. Could you fill me in? Is Brad the CEO and main $$?
Did he then sell out?
The new guy is probably out looking for money, but he needs to let his loyal followers in on the loop. What other site out there is up and running with their technology? Is there anyone?
Their technology didnt appear to ever work. I think thats where the problems started. 3D has been around for a long time.
True Poker is the biggest one I think. There are many “skins” that use similar setups. Most big players hate 3d (including me). When you are playing 4 (or 6-12) tables you want less memory use and less distractions and video game feel. If someone bought stacks and just went with a good “clean” 2D look they would do well with strong marketing, IMO.
The 3d idea was a horrible idea for stacks. Why not get some cash flow going with 2D instead of trying to be all things for all players. Delay after delay waiting for software meant no cash flow and unhappy affiliates.
2d takes up about 5-10 MB of memory. Stacks 3d was going to be about 170MB. Thats like installing 17 Pokerstars set ups on your computer. I don’t think they did their research on what big players want. I have one site where my play is more then the other 140 money players I have under me put together. If i’m stacks (or any new site) thats the player I want, not the 3d newbie lookin for a video game feel.
