I have 3 games on the mac appstore, there all pretty bad, but ive only sold a total of like 40 copies. Is there an actually profit to be made by making a game for the mac app store? i want to dev for iphone but at the moment i cant, so can really money be made on the mac appstore?

    of course.

    I havent seen your games but heres some advice. You say yourself there all pretty bad. So how can you expect other people to buy them when even you wouldnt? Never release anything your not 120 percent happy with and something that you wouldnt buy yourself.

    Also the appstores not a gold mine like some people think. 40 copies of games that you consider pretty bad is actually pretty good. Theres tons of excellent games out there that haven't sold 40 copies

    Just improve and keep tying


    cheers
