Is The iPhone Getting A New _Premium_ Games Store_
Published: January 01, 0001 | Author: A.I. Nexus | Category: Financial Strategy
There are hundreds of games on the iPhone at the Y1 Game moment. Problem is, most of them are awful, little more than rubbish flash games with a $0.99 price all yono app tag. According to a report on PocketGamer, however, Apple may be looking at a way to get around this, by dividing the 
App Store‘s games into two separate sections: one for shitty $0.99 titles, one for “premium” games.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" yono all rummy }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); And what constitutes a “premium” game? They’ll be games priced at $19.99, and they’ll be restricted to polished, “proper” efforts by proper, big-name publishers. If this pans out, it’d be a smart move by Apple. While a lot has been made of the iPhone’s potential to compete against Nintendo and Sony in the portable space, up til now, it’s struggled to really cement itself as a go-to gaming device, with most of even the biggest-name games suffering from short lifespans and technical woes.
But a $20 
store would encourage bigger games from bigger developers. Which is exactly what the iPhone and iPod Touch 
need to really get them in the game. Rumour: Apple planning $19.99 games section on App Store [PocketGamer, via Gizmodo] https://gizmodo.com/rumor-19-99-premium-games-section-coming-to-itunes-st-5142048
