Expected. There's a three tier system- Tier A partners like EA, Tier B developers that are preferred by Apple, like Cultured Code, Omni, and TapTapTap, and Tier C developers, who Apple doesn't do anything special for. Kick ass for a sustained period of time and you can get into Tier B, be a multi-billion dollar company and you're Tier A.
Awesome thing is, though, that you can reasonably compete as a Tier C developer with Tier B and Tier A developers, it's just that they get a head start with being featured. That's surmountable, so it's not a big deal.
- tumult 17y agoHow am I supposed to catch up with them if they already are allowed to use features and languages and thought processes that I'm not? It makes no sense.
- sketerpot 17y agoCompete with them on Android, perhaps? </modest-proposal>
- colinplamondon 17y agoThe same way everyone else has- this shit's not rocket science. You just have to be on your game. It's about marketing, not features and languages.
