Corona Labs sold. Again.

Wow! It feels like it was only yesterday that Corona Labs was aquired by Perk Inc. I believe it was somewhere around November-December last year (2015), and now it's time for another ownership change.

Not really sure if this is good or bad, but I hope and believe that it will be mostly good. The year that's passed since Perk took over hasn't really pushed Corona SDK in any clear direction, at least not from what I can tell. The Corona platform still suffers from many of the same issues as it did a year ago, such as poor performance, not enough focus on core functionality, and bugs that take ages to fix.

Hopefully we'll see a more focused and dedicated company in the future, bringing us an even better 2D game development platform. Because despite the flaws that I just mentioned in the paragraph above, I still believe that Corona SDK is a great platform that deserves more recognition from the game dev community.
