DIYGamer: Spiderweb Software are notable for two things. Primarily being an incredibly prolific indie RPG studio, churning out a huge number of classic, turn-based roleplaying romps. Secondly, pricing these many games with a dedicated, niche audience in mind. Well, that latter point has changed today, as the five critically acclaimed Geneforge games land on Steam today as a bundle with a shared price-tag of $20, reduced to $16 until the 9th.
GamesBeat: "Jeff Vogel never pulls any punches. So when the longtime indie success story released the Avernum 2 role-playing game recently on iOS — then yanked it days later — we knew he’d have some pointed things to say. Here’s the story of why you won’t be able to get future Spiderweb Software games on iPad despite the company’s successful sales for tablets in the past. Also, a suggestion: Better move fast if you want the company’s older works on the platform (Avernum, Avadon, Avadon 2)."
I'd be more surprised to read "Apple does care." Seriously, though, I'm sure it isn't good for one company to have such total control over a single gaming platform.
Apple has never cared for gaming they just want some of the money , yes everyone does but at least those others make an effort to do tons , help and even care .
Apple's never cared about gaming. That's evident enough by the amount of time I spend on my PC and consoles compared to my MacBook. The only good thing the latter's for these days is Garage band, really.
So basically he's blaming mobiles' hardware and coding evolutions , when he can't keep up with it to release 16bits looking games .
Of course apple doesnt care , you came to their ecosystem , and till it works financially they wont cater to you . They were never about revolutionizing gaming or making it better . If anything they made it regress
At least he acknowledges the same issues , only magnified , should he decide to go over the android world
Spiderweb Software Spiderwebsoftware is proud to unveil the second game in the Avadon Trilogy, Avadon 2: The Corruption.
"For the month of November, Spiderweb Software is holding a 50%-Off sale on everything in their store.
“November is a time of great sadness,” said Spiderweb Software in the press-release. “The nights are long. Seattle is a damp, unending gray. Mildew. And nobody buys our games, because why bother when the holidays are just around the corner?”
So to warm up customers, Spiderweb Software stuck a big, bright, shiny, “50% Off” tag on to everything in the store." - Tom Christiansen
