By "gaming space", you mean casual games played on the phone, right? I see great opportunity for casual games. Think "Candy Crush", but where it's part of your monthly and you just get to play, without having to sending friends energy so you can get an extra round back when they accept. On the other hand, the trend lately has been game companies telling people exactly how they have to play and Apple won't be able to resist that. If you want to play a different mode and Apple doesn't think you should, you won't get to, and modders won't be able to provide it. If I were a game developer, I'd be wary as well of the usual pitfalls. Clones or Apple developments being anointed the winner by Apple. Core functionality to the game suddenly being disallowed. No transparency or recourse with Apple as publisher.
