The arguement for clones being set up etc is a null and void arguement in my eyes. Clone games can be easily made / searched for on google (hell, I've even made a clone) and hosted. The fact is if Smudgetarion started up tomorrow, what user base would I have? How would I be able to compete against PA? Answer - I wouldn't.
