Well, let's just say that I think if you look at the top 10% of salaries in this industry, compared to other industries, it's probably not great.
Note I'm talking about salaries of people, not Supercell's income.
i.e. if you look at the top 10% earning doctors, lawyers, musicians etc, I don't expect the app store to look great.
And if you look at the median, the app store will likely be very, very substantially subpar.
And if you look at the bottom 10%, it's probably a complete joke.
All in all, I don't think the app store is an interesting place anymore for the average dev. But that's probably true of most entrepreneurs I feel. It's so hard to compete with big businesses, that you're either in a niche they can't conquer, doing something special, or you're losing to them. It's either great, or shit, and the great is a tiny percentage.

But I agree on the app store, the $1 market just makes it so that the average person will never make any real amount of money.
