No, but with the 15% commission tier for <$1m companies, you can expect an Indie renaissance.

- durovo 6y agoFor non-ios games, how does that commision matter?
- gruez 6y agoWhy? Indie games aren't exactly known as being compute intensive, and the commission tier for macs and PCs is 0% if you self distribute.
- CJefferson 6y agoPeople have been promising an indie renaissance on Macs for about 10 years.. I'll be happy to see it, but I'll also believe it when I see it.
- EricE 6y agoIt will be fascinating to see how the blending of iOS and Mac App stores plays out. There are more than a few games in the iOS app store....
- chungus_khan 6y agoThe Mac app store is a terrible platform for distributing games. People do not look there for them, and they have a bad reputation of breaking or being left unmaintained. It has awful discoverability and is filled with trash. Customers also prefer to get them on Steam anyway (or on consoles). This is especially true if a game has online support. Most other distribution platforms also give customers access to the game on any platform, rather than locking them to one. It doesn't really offer the consumer anything, and for a developer who will have to target Windows and Steam anyway to have any chance of making money, it isn't really that enticing, even with a larger revenue share.
