| Plaupius said: @Garcian Smith I agree that the low risk is a huge factor in attracting devs, and that was my point. Apple will get developer support, especially from totally new 3rd parties. Actually, that's my hope, I don't want there to be cut throat competition of devs, I want the market to expand to accommodate more devs and thus more innovation and more good games. |
New 3rd parties won't risk developing for an unproven platform. And my point with pointing out the low risk factor is that most 3rd parties will just throw a few quick ports on there and call it a day, unless those ports do extremely well.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
