I get what you’re saying, but as an outsider it seems like your reasoning is backwards. The people are there, the money is there. What isn’t there is the developers. But developers see nobody else is there and think “nobody’s making games for this audience, so I’m not going to bother, either”. Sure, but then you’re leaving those billions for King and its ilk.
- smoldesu 5y agoDevelopers don't care. Their job has always been about picking the path of least resistance and moving product, they probably care about the iOS userbase as much as they care about their Star Wars fan demographic. That's before you factor in how hostile Apple is towards cross-platform developers, and by the time you get to picking out a suitable graphics API they'll have probably moved on to a new one. If games programming was about economics, we wouldn't be hiring developers in the first place.
- mcphage 5y agoHeh, that's a good point. I guess I should have said "publishers" rather than "developers".
