I am curious about the success of this public launch. I am in the process of Launching a Financial education game on the teen Grid, and would appreciate any lessons you learned about the public launch. Is there anything you would have done differently in hindsight? Did the launch meet your expectations? If you are willing to share any of your learning experiences, that would be great. (BTW, I am not sure if a previous post was submitted, the internet dropped when I submit the first, so if you have two from me, I apologize.)
