The one that says software (whether a game or other app) is considered technology.

Not necessarily, one of the things you have to remember is even if I can produce a game that is 5 times better then PA for $50k I still have to market it, build a player base, build up the brand, and many other things that PA already intrinsically has. PA has all the fundamental pieces to being a very popular game in certain circles, any game I could come up with and code (assuming I was a great programmer which I'm not) would still need a lot of things to be successful that PA already has.

Now whether it would make sense to invest $200k into PA is an entirely different story, it would take a lot of work and further investment to make it really worth the effort. But a clever business plan coupled with good product development could at least in theory produce a good product that is very popular.
