Zoom is not going out today. There's a 70% chance it will go out tomorrow (Friday, March 16th). If that doesn't happen, there is a 99% chance that it will go out Monday the 19th. I'm sure you're disappointed, as are we; we'd really hoped it would go out today. But of course it's infinitely more important that the feature work correctly - there's real money on the line here.
The first games we release are going to be 9-max and 6-max No Limit Hold'em and 6-max PLO, all three at $.01/$.02 stakes.
$.01/$.02?????
Yes, $.01/$.02. Again, this is the first roll-out for real money. Look, if we rolled it out at $2/$4 and something went Very Wrong, we'd look like idiots, because we would be idiots for making the inaugural roll-out at extremely serious stakes.
Well, when will the stakes go up?
When we're confident that everything is working smoothly and that we're not going to have a software error that costs us a few $100K. I will tell you folks: software development, like math, is hard.
Best regards,
