    Finally got placed into a 2vs2 league with my girlfriend. Masters! xD

    38 league wins now. I still keep 15 games going at all times. They're almost all ranked matches though since it seems like no one from TA plays anymore.

    Same here! People just aren't posting right now... Probably waiting for the first content update.

    EDIT: So how does the 2v2 League work? If my partner is the one starting all the matches, am I still getting credit for the games? Most of them are still in-progress, so I'm not sure about this, yet, since I've completed two games (one with him, and one with someone else), but it still shows "4 out of 5 games left". Does it keep seperate placement records for different partners / randoms?

    The update is estimated to hit in around three weeks. To be precise, Adam said on the blog at 20 July that the update "should hit in about a month".

    Yes it does.. It's pretty cool that a particular duo of players has its own rank. So you could be in Gifted league with your mate and Clever league with randoms

    So the first update hit today... looks like mostly bug fixes. The three big changes appear to be:

    1. Free players reduced to 5 games
    2. New store item to increase game limit to 35
    3. Soldier position in Foundry changed to eliminate ?+ space-skipping rush.

    I was hoping they'd add a Bombshell change confirmation prompt, since I still make that mistake even in Masters, but maybe the first content update will add that feature.

    EDIT: Looks like the Game Limit Upgrade isn't included in the Uber Pack. Well... that doesn't really bother me, I don't play often enough to max that out.

    One of the two big changes is so big that it looks like a third change!

    To Everyone With Game Limit Issues

    IMPORTANT:

    If you have purchased an item from the shop and should have a 20 game limit, go to the store, scroll down and select 'Restore Purchases'. This will restore the purchases to your device and re-grant you your 20 game limit.

    Wired Magazine just ran a story on how, in spite of critical acclaim and over 500,000 downloads, Outwitters is a financial disaster. The developer was quoted as saying that he has no idea why more people didn't download it (apparently, you need at least 3,000,000 downloads of a freemium game to break even).

    While Outwitters is absolutely a top-tier, A-List game, perhaps the lesson here is not the freemium business model (although, I'm not a fan), but instead the lack of a single-player experience. It's the reason I didn't invest any money in it, anyway.

    I hope they come out of this OK. I like these guys...

    The article may have implied a grimmer picture than reality. We're not in dire straights or on the verge of closing up shop or anything like that. We're trucking along with more updates for Outwitters in fact. A developer wants to recoup their costs in as short a time as possible (a couple of years or so). Outwitters is going to take *a long while* to do so. We just wanted to share our experience with Outwitters so far. We realistically can't expect every game will be a home run financially :).

    Well, you have my 2.99 day 1 IAP for more teams :)

    I must say I'm surprised the Apple features weren't worth more than half a million free installs.

    Ah, that's good to hear. I was worried that you might be in a similar situation that Mikengreg was in. But as long as you guys keep making awesome games like you have been, you'll always get my money.

    Glad to hear it. I think it's time to make an IAP to show support. I was holding out for a single player campaign but this game definitely deserves my money as-is.
