    Does the app store marketplace drive good devs away?
    It did for this one:

    Good read. There are so many factors at play - it's a bit like playing the lottery. Revenue from mobile games is increasing significantly every year but the number of developers is also growing rapidly. There is a bigger pie but more people trying to get a slice.

    Interesting read too (thanks for the link!) - and i agree also. I myself am not helping since i jumped onto the bandwagon and believe there will be an indie bubble... especially on the iOS platform. I suspect i may/will have to expand my platform base and not just focus on iOS.

    Cheers,
