Just in case you might be interested in reading this bit of troubling news...
Marty's Blindfold games No more Blindfold Games or Updates For those of you not following this issue: Two weeks ago, Apple rejected 3 updates: Blindfold Hopper, Blindfold Craps and Blindfold Horserace, by saying it violates a new rule of the App Store: apps that vary only by content (such as video or audio or text) must be merged into one app. I explained that these apps are all different, and that only their menus and settings screens are similar. I requested a phone call to discuss this further. Tap here for details on Apple <https://blindfoldgames.org/2017/11/02/apple-has-no-clue-again/> 's rejection. On Wednesday night, I talked with an Apple representative, and Apple's decision is that unless I merge the 80 Blindfold Games into a handful of apps, they will no longer allow new games to be released or allow updates to be made. >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. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
