Hi Ken, Exactly. The requirement of having to use Objective C for iOS really makes it an undesirable platform to write games for. Yeah, if you have the skills an the tools no problem, but a lot of developers are already comfortable using something else. A lot of developers are like yourself, they know Visual Basic but not Objective C, so are in the position of having to learn Objective C for the expressed purpose of writing games for iOS.
Even though I know several languages like C, C++, Java, Python, Visual Basic, etc even I am discouraged about having to learn yet another language just to write a game for an iPhone. At least with the new Windows 8 smart phones I can use C# .NET or VB .NET which I already know. Plus I think there is a version of Python for Windows mobile as well. Lots more options than just Objective C there. Cheers!
