3 Addicting Apple iPod Touch/iPhone Game Apps Under $1

Game Podunker The Liztress writes, "The list of available gaming apps is huge, filled with titles such as Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, and Need for Speed. But among those blockbusters are games by companies you may have never heard of. These titles are relatively cheaper than the big names but that doesn't mean that the games are any less fun to play or addictive. I present to you three titles that are under a buck but will give you more fun that the price you pay..."

Epic: Mobile Gaming Business "Largely Broken," Says "Dysfunction" Due to 30% Tax From Apple, Google

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney notes that the mobile gaming industry is "largely broken," and blames the 30% tax levied by Apple and Google.

Man has been saying this for ages and knows full well the only thing he wants is more money at Apple and Google's expense and absolutely none of this will result in lower prices for the consumer.

Tacoboto643d ago

He expects the digital equivalent of opening up his own store inside of a Walmart or Target. It's absurd.

And he feels absolutely entitled to it, in a too-big-to-fail sense - because Unreal Engine is used by so many developers, banning Epic would hurt those developers relying on their tech, which would be super unfair to the developers.

Thank goodness you are there to defend the small guys Google and Apple. You're so brave, Christopher!

Christopher642d ago

Yeah, I'm totally defending Apple and Google and not explaining how another company is just as greedy. That's the big takeaway from my comment, Apple and Google good, only Epic bad. Yup. I totally didn't make it about the fact that this man just wants more money and isn't doing it for the consumers. Nope. Not that at all. I'm just praising up Big Tech. They're my one and only love in life. Please recognize me Big Tech Senpai!

The epic games store charges a 12% tax and has been losing money for 5 years...that sounds dysfunctional.

They are only losing money because Steam has a stranglehold on the market.

Christopher642d ago

It's a play to attempt to win over the market so they can then realign pricing with what Steam has in the long run. The problem is they are doing only that and not actually building a better software supported platform on PC. Essentially, they're throwing money at the problem, not actually trying to compete by providing better service.
