That would cause a horrendous problem if troubleshooting becomes necessary. Trying to fix software that someone else has modified is extremely problematic.

All of the games would have to be rewritten from scratch for a smaller market than what exists as a developer for the Apple platform. The reasons for not doing this to begin with still are valid. For one, troubleshooting would be a developer’s nightmare. Two, not enough gamers. Apple was, and still is, the way to go. If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

Mainly developpers who are designing apps as 3rd parties get hit by this. I will certainly write and Call Apple though. Maybe enough people can give you some sort of free pass, though I doubt it.

Will we still be able to do in app purchases?

From a technology perspective, that’s extremely hard and time-consuming. From a business perspective, that would mean spending hundreds of hours recoding the games, with no possible return-on-investment. Most of the games generate sales in the first three months of the game being released, and I’ve been building these games for 4 years. From a usability perspective, that means the main menus would be ridiculously complex, and the settings screens would be confusing and almost unusable. If you are unhappy with this decision, you can express your opinion to Apple. The accessibility desk is at [email protected] or you can call 1-800-MY-APPLE. Thanks to everyone for enjoying my games. -- sent with mozilla thunderbird -- sent with mozilla thunderbird
