I released the lite version of my game "A Plinky Game!" on thursday.

Usually the best selling country is the USA followed by UK and other european countries. The sales in those countries were about 8000 in the USA and about 1000 in each major european countries.

That's good, but what shocked me are the 12000 sales I had in Saudi Arabia and the 500 each I had in Kuwait, Libano and the Emirates.

Applyzer don't shows any particular features in those countries.

Anyone had similar strange sales?

    Today I received strange sales, yesterday I Sold the double of the normal sale, or comparing to the day before.

    Each of my apps, sold near double the day before.

    Didn't notice the country, will give a look.

    Due to the bad economy in the US, and the blossoming world in the middle east, they are much richer on average than people here and the US dollar is a fraction of what their dollar is worth.

    US's ignorant idea of the middle east:

    Actual part of the middle east:

    SInce they got bin Laden, the U.S. soldiers don't have much to do. They're killing time with GameSalad apps until they get to come home.

    Yeah hman360, the entire Arab world looks like a postcard and artist's rendering of Dubai. Have you even been to the region? Makes you wonder what all that "Arab Spring" stuff was about, huh?

    It's always great to have the uninformed and arrogant, like hman360, continue to perpetuate baseless negative stereotypes against their own countrymen. Your nuance of thought is a credit to humanity. Please tell me you have a blog because I absolutely must follow you!

    Interesting history you have there, hman360. Why am I not surprised?

    Also, a check of Cocos reveals a similar pattern of behavior. He's tried to scam others to do work for him and even threatened a lawsuit.

    Look out for this teenager, people!

    phew!! you guys take middle east so damn seriously..
    Well! it is a dream place for us business people and not so great for job seekers because of the Free zone n thats why every big company has a presence in FZ. I was wondering what will people do if Arabs actually accomplish something. At least a couple of posts on this thread give this impression that people dont like Arab world developing and they might go to some extent to keep them where they are. Now guys! don't be scared but I ve been to UAE and had a friend from Michigan with me. His first response was (which got faded gradually in few days after failing to find a Taxi) ...What the hell am I doing in US! Anyways I think if they sustain the Free zone policy, good business can be done. For starting a game company the license fee is 5000US$ and read my lips " NO TAXES!". Any one interested??
