This reminds me of the Vimeo move to disallow gaming videos. They wanted Vimeo to be for "creative expression", and straight said they didn't think game-related videos met that test. Original 2008 blog post here: http://www.vimeo.com/blog:140 http://www.vimeo.com/blog:140
I think some of the iPhone's gaming success is the market--players demanding more games--but some of it is also the lure of game development itself. If the whole point of the App Store was to let developers make whatever they wanted, and they want to make games...isn't that kind of the point?
(And yes, it is pretty naive to assume all iPhone games were made for the love of it instead of trying to cash in on a gold rush).
