Game Developers Rev Up for iPhone

Greenstone also said the 30 percent cut seemed reasonable, especially compared with the exorbitant costs and extraordinary risk associated with getting Mac software on retail store shelves. Other developers posting their thoughts in blogs and social networking services weren’t quite as laudatory, but most felt that the split was acceptable. Another aspect of the App Store anticipated by Morrison is the prospect of built-in copy protection managed on Apple’s side, rather than a home-grown system that developers have to rig — the situation now with Mac applications. “We’re hoping it will help cut down on piracy quite a bit, and put independent developers on equal footing with the big guys,” said Morrison.

Jobs left out any details about the certification process from the presentation on Thursday, except to say that Apple would be weeding out applications that presented security hazards, were bandwidth-hogs or were pornographic. Freeverse has developed games for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 “Live Arcade” system, which enables users to download games over the Internet onto their video game console rather than relying on a store-bought DVD.
