Seems appropriate to put this here - is the Indie Bundle game pack only available on the Amazon App Store? If so, that means it’s not available to anyone outside the US, not great marketing. [import]uid: 95579 topic_id: 17002 reply_id: 317002[/import]
Yes, it is only available on the Amazon Appstore. Actually, I think it was a great decision on there part…currently in the United States, if you go to http://www.amazon.com/ It is on the front page, the first thing you look at. Millions are seeing it, and it’s a great opportunity for Ansca and those devs…Oh and of course charity! [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 17002 reply_id: 63869[/import]
couldn’t it also go on Android Market? It’s difficult to see how it can be good for charity to restrict it to the US market and deny the 5 billion people who don’t live there the opportunity to buy it [import]uid: 95579 topic_id: 17002 reply_id: 63879[/import]
I hear you, but Amazon is only giving Ansca this much exposure because it is restricted to them. Anyone who wants to download this app has to go to Amazon, the makes Amazon very happy =)
I am sure this probably won’t be forever, my bet would be that Ansca and Amazon have a short term contract that is preventing Ansca from releasing it on the Android App Store for now.
Also getting in to bed with a HUGE company like Amazon is quite cool for Ansca just in itself. [import]uid: 86879 topic_id: 17002 reply_id: 63883[/import]
