Sparrow acquired by Google
I wonder what would have happened if the Sparrow team would come out and say "guys we're going to close we don't have enough money". Would all the guys who are yelling "I feel betrayed" support Sparrow with a $10/month recurring plan?<p>I doubt it.<p>I personally think that Sparrow had a chance to sell their business and capitalize on all of the hard work they done so far, let's not forget that this is their business and not a hobby. They need a end game.<p>I won't try to go into details as this is probably all speculation, but monetizing a client in a saturated market with bigger competitors isn't easy. I can understand that many of you 'invested' $5-$10 in sparrow and think you're entitled to free support and lifetime slavery but let's chill a bit.<p>So you've lost $10, big deal. I'm sure you guys have invested more money into more lousy software and haven't say a god damn thing.<p>Sparrow team, good luck, great work, happy to hear that another indie developer made it. Hope to hear more success stories in the future.
