What's the difference if it's EA, Ubisoft, Apple etc... Nothing is preventing a holiday price drop for bitongo which could be outweighed by the author's projected increased holiday sales. Further, a good app will rise above shovelware appropriately. Is this really a detrimental scenario for a start-up?

- Argorak 15y agoThe problem is that EAs products are not shovelware, but actually worth the 7+ Dollars they usually sell for. Thats where the huge perceived value comes into play.
- Gable 15y agoExactly. That's why I think releasing your game at Christmas time has the least probability to be successful compared to any other release time.
- geuis 15y agoWhat's detrimental is that most of the big names have a lot more resources to advertise their $.99 apps. Since the top ten is kind of the sweet spot, simply by having many more people buying their apps it pushes good smaller indie titles down the list. The things that influence the app ecosystem isn't just limited to the app store.
