While Onyx sounds like a pretty good idea, the argument that low prices are killing the App Store don't make much sense. If selling games for cheap leads to losses, how do big developers not go out of business? There's no "loss-leading" here. Once BigDeveloperCo sells you their crappy version of Tetris for 99 cents, there's no secondary product to get more money from you. They just lose money. They'll go bankrupt. If lower prices don't cause big developers to lose money, then small developers should lower their price points too, and they wouldn't lose money either. In the long run, prices for games will converge to their economic costs of producing them. And yes, competition means that its hard to make money. The App Store is not dying. Perhaps you don't like the quality of software that most people like, but people are buying Apps like crazy. If they weren't, there wouldn't be lots of developer competition to bring down App prices.
