why..in the WORLD didn't they make PL, SL, and DL like that.

To me, focusing on an evolving market where they already had huge success (with PL) and a loyal fan base was a smart business move.
There are many benefits, like technology/personnel sharing between games and the opportunity for the product to become a highlight for a platform which seems to be the future of computing (smartphones/tablets).
Was smart for them but boring having the same interfaces for players
But honestly i think 1 player games made by sts would have been a huge hit since they had some fame already unlike their old games
To the OP: the Founder's Helm was NOT awarded to PL players AT THE START. It was, in fact, only awarded around the time of the first birthday party. Also, it was only given to people who LOGGED IN DURING A SHORT PERIOD who had account creation dates of April or May 2010.
Founder's Helms were not given to every account that was started in April or May of 2010. They still had to be active a year later.
Especially note that Founder's Helm was awarded to those player who STAYED in the game for a year.
SL has reached one year, and there was no Founder's Helm. From this we can surmise that there will never be another Founder's Helm in any STS game again.
And, as someone who join in June of 2010, I would like to ask you to please stop rubbing salt in the wound! ;) (that's a joke, son!)
I think there should be a founder helm in AL for everyone that started playing AL in 2010.
I joined in April of 2011, soon after the end of the Android open beta. I don't know for sure offhand (and not going to do the searching to find out) but I don't think any Android-only user can have gotten a Founder's Helm. I'm happy they didn't do that again.
Edit: my mistake
The last thing you need to worry about weeks maybe months before the games release is rewards. Besides, implementing a founders helmet for any game other than Pocket legends is virtually impossible due to the fact that the system tracks the day your account was created not the day that you started playing an individual game. The founders helm was for players who were playing STS before it was a big time game developer.
