## 💡 Success Factors

### Why This Will Succeed

1. **Unique Value Prop**: Only IDE with cross-platform translation
2. **Clear Moat**: Extremely hard to replicate
3. **Real Pain Point**: Developers hate rewriting code
4. **Large Market**: Millions of game developers
5. **Premium Pricing**: $45/mo justified by time saved
6. **Viral Potential**: Demo video shows immediate value
7. **Network Effects**: More platforms = more valuable
