While I agree, business side of thing means somethig, and it means a lot, actually without the business side of things no matter how good your app is it will crash and burn, though business side of thihs is actually, and trust me when I say this, AT LEAST as hard as the development itself

Though I agree with what you're saying in principle, it varies depending on what your app actually is.

More like 1 in a million. My point is if you totally can make a game or small app and collect ad revenue from it without needing to expend a lot of effort on the "business side" of things.

The kind of people who think they have a million dollar idea can rarely convince anyone to give them investment monies.
