Silicon Knights (Eternal Darkness, Too Human) VD Denis Dyack har uttalat sig om App Store och att dess stora utbud av skräp förstör den bärbara marknaden. I stället för kvalitetsspel dominerar fis-applikationer och marknaden "eroderas" av detta, berättar Dyack för Industrygamers.
"My understanding is that there are 17,000 fart apps right now. Those are more fart apps than anyone could possibly ever consume.
"Looking at that number it's frightening. What it seems to be doing is eroding the handheld market where you're actually getting really high quality games instead of fart apps. And I'm not saying there aren't quality games on the iOS, but there's so much performance oversupply and commoditisation that it is actually affecting the industry in a very negative way."
Dyack stödjer sig också på siffror från analysbyrån EEDAR i sin attack mot App Store-utbudet:
"EEDAR did a talk where they said the gross average for an iOS game - gross, not net - was $700. I can guarantee you that a company like ours and most people cannot survive on a $700 gross."
