What a misleading headline. While ... What a misleading headline. While the critique of the mobile market is valid, all pitfalls you sadly stumbled upon are well known and documented. A lot of indie games do extremely well on Steam, Apple 's Mac App Store, PSN and XBLA. Some even did - and still do - ... |

Great article. I bet you're ... Great article. I bet you're breaking a number of NDA's. What I don't understand is why you chose to make three more WiiWare games after the first one proved to be such a disappointment. |

Thanks a lot, Andy Plus, ... Thanks a lot, Andy Plus, it was awesome to hang out with the Brits during GDC Do I get it right that Android amounts to 23.7 of the overall revenue due to price money, rather than sales |
