I've read a lot of things where it says text game/phone game is completely useless, yet things like OKCupid work. My thoughts on text game/phone game is that they only have one purpose: to setup plans. I've read that before and I was wondering if text game/phone game was pretty pointless, and one doesn't really need to develop it. Just skip right to the point of it all, exchanging logistics and that is it.

What do you guys think?
