I don't think Ilitsa gets it yet. The people who develop mobile apps typically do not have the expertise or knowledge to work on the game or servers. It would be like surrel said and asking the server to cook your food. The server does not cook, so there's no point taking that server off the floor any more than there would be a point to taking that mobile developer off the app. It's highly likely that app developer is not qualified to do anything other than develop that app. Does that make sense yet? Having that app developer work on the servers would be like having a chemical engineer design a bridge rather than just finding a qualified structural engineer. They may both be engineers, and that chemical engineer may be a damn good chemical engineer, but I'm not driving on that bridge...
