| qwertyDANIELqwerty said: Pokemon Go has been released, and you already know that unless you have lived under a rock for the past 2 weeks or so. It is raising over 2 million dollars a day, more daily users than twitter and tinder combined, and pretty much the fastest growing player-base to a game of all time, and that might be an understatement. It's no surprise, Pokemon has always been one of the most iconic and popular brands of all time. Yet, somehow, Apple and iTunes doesn't seem to catch on that one of the biggest apps, if not the biggest app of the year was just released on iOS and android. If you go to the front page of iTunes (as of now) these are the featured apps and games you will see: -NBA Live Mobile -Super Stickman Golf 3 -Ghostbusters Slime City -15 "Spookiest" Games - Auto Warriors - Clash Royale Some of those games aren't even new... and I highly dought games by the titles of "Super Stickman Golf 3" and "Auto Warriors" are going to generate more revenue than damn Pokemon. Who is in charge of selecting the featured apps and games on the iTunes front page, and HOW LONG will it take to change it? How much can you underestimate something that is #1 on your webstore for "Top Grossing" and hasn't left that position once since. Oh Apple, this just proves you are another business men suit-and-tie company that knows ZERO of what is trending or popular. |
The featured apps are paid for by the developers. One of the games I made was featured for three days and cost us thousands of dollars to do so.
