Past that time on the PC but not on the relatively new iPhone OS and  
app store distribution. It basically singlehandedly exploded the  
mobile gaming market, and a lot of developers paving the way in this  
market are simply individuals and small groups. These people with  
success have and will expand their companies and/or get picked up by  
the bigger distributers but the fact remains, the opportunity is there.
