I'm curious about the revenue from android and ios ecosystems. It's very well possible that EA decided that there wasn't enough money in the android base to justify engineering resources (especially since it's free to play on ios: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plants-vs.-zombies-2/id597986893 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plants-vs.-zombies-2/id59798...)
- makomk 13y agoIf you read the rest of the article, they've already developed an Android port for the Chinese market, so I doubt it'd take substantially more in the way of engineering resources to bring that to other countries.
- dendory 13y agoApple says no money changed hands, and that's probably true. Just like no money changed hands in the Android KitKat deal. Still doesn't make either transactions not about the money.
- gnur 13y agoPerhaps Apple has agreed to a higher revenue % of the in app purchases, this could lead to a significant amount of money. (a.k.a. truckload)
