I'm posting what we know about this new system.
We Know:
* You have to pay, per-app, a unknown fee.
* There will be profit sharing involved.
* You loose your identity. (this is the worst thing. GS already has a collection of crap games)
For the profit sharing, say you made $10,000. Apple and GS take a total of %60, so that leaves you with $4000. Next taxes meaning you lost MORE THAN HALF your income. Which is better, %30? Or %60 WITH a publishing fee.
Thanks GS, but I'm not doing this...
Thanks.

GameSalad is an amazing application. For what it does, no question.
Many of us have published iPhone games that would have never without GS.
Many of us have devoted a lot of time learning to work with GS.
Many of us will have to stop working with GS, or want to stop working with GS under the new Publishing system.
This is really rather heartbreaking. I've really enjoyed GS, and that is a fact.
