FEELS LIKE CRYING!

Techcrunch have just reported that Apple is set to axe support for GS in iOS 5 to focus on more quality games. They are gonna kill of support when building xcode so GS will basically be unable to publish any new Apps, yet updates for current approved apps will still be supported and available for sale on the AppStore. source:

http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/31/apple-leaked-iOS-5-document-reveals-new-updated-quality-criteria-for-devs/

The document is pretty long but if you scroll down near the bottom 3rd you'll see the updated quality request. This is such bad news i've already invested a load of time and effort in GS and these forums ;-( but I feel bad for all the pro users :-(

    First of all - if Apple doesn't want crap GS games on AppStore - why they approve it?
    The second - there are many great games made with GS and Apple is making money on them.
    The third - if they doesn't like GS games, why they choose for example my game to be N&N on the main games page?

    Apple is a corporation, the first law of every business is to make money - they won't cut their profits because few crappy games - they will only make more rigoristic guidelines for developers.

    +1

    Its probably just referring to the quality control they announced some months ago.
    No more 2 day apps with clipart! Yay:D

    Sorry to make a second post but it's not that easy to edit the previous one on iPhone.

    If they really want to do such a thing, there will be only one way for GS to survive - after creating game with GS we will get not an app file, but Xcode project, and we will publish it ourselves.

    It's a bogus link. Why do that?

    The only GS related link is what GS has already said today:

    Interesting. I'll have to try and find that article. The only things that I see on there are about GS raising $6.1 million for funding...
  • butterbeanbutterbean Member Posts: 4,315
    lol I had a feeling this was an April Fool's thing, but damn, you almost gave me a heart attack! :P
  • DevilsDevils Member Posts: 561
    Had me going there for a minute I've been MIA for a while working on a few things I saw this thread and almost joined butterbean with a heart attack lol.

    I have always wondered if the "approvers" would unite and protest because they are sick and tired of listening to the opening blurb (feed your inner game boy) tooooo many times a day! :)

    Other than that - it was a good one. That's what April 1st jokes are all about but the timing stunk for most of us ;)
  • goliathgoliath Member Posts: 1,440
    WOW DUDE!! That's actually pretty funny!!! You def. got me!! You're probably dying with all of these responses....I know I would....

    yea, all this thread did was cause needless panic, especially since it's still early afternoon in most of the US.

    Wow! Sure got me! Very entertaining. I was joining in on the heart attacks at first before I saw the April Fool's though. This should be yellow posted.
  • m456arcusm456arcus Member Posts: 189
    Wow, that was unexpected - really had me scared... But still, pretty funny! Could you imagine though? What would happen?

    lolz. i almost spill my coffee while reading this. nice one dude.
  • quantumsheepquantumsheep Member Posts: 8,188
    Nice one - but I'm always sceptical when people yell 'the sky is falling!' ;)

    I'll re-name the thread and close it the day after April Fool's - just so we don't get people searching and asking about this ;)

    So get your comments in, guys! :D

    QS :D
