iPhone + App Store = The KiNg

Interesting article, forwarded to me by programmer who I respect a lot, which discusses iPhone pricing plans and why everything that was .99 will be raised to 9.99.

I love and adore my iPhone, and can never picture living w/o it.

I will hopefully one day invest in a Mac or get hired to work on an iPhone app/game, so from a developer side I can understand the almighty $$$.

But its the same issue with MP3s, we’ve been spoiled, and if we’ve been paying .99 for a song/ or an app, it’ll be WW3 the day we have to pay double, let alone 10x as much.

O my heart is so torn :( 

Entertainment Software Day in Texas

My Tuesday flew by. A good part of the day went by reliving some fond Halo 3 war stories. And it ended with the weekly ex-Midway employees poker night. Well I just now come to find out that I should’ve been celebrating Entertainment Software Day.

That’s right, according to this article over at Gameindustry.biz February 3 is now officially dedicated to our industry in the lovely state of Texas !

Hopefully that helps open up some opportunity for us out of work developers.
