I really appreciated the following quote:

When Dave started, we were focused on creating new games instead of supporting revenue streams from each game. Dave changed that.

Part of the reason why PopCap has been so successful is that they have properly branched their games into new devices and areas, from Facebook games, to iPhone, in-flight entertainment, etc.

I think that is a good lesson for hackers. If you aren't making enough money from your app, perhaps you just haven't expanded enough horizontally. Many of the best apps these days have iPhone/iPad/Blackberry versions so they can be easily accessible at all times.
