Is it worth paying money to upload games

sparx13

Hi, i have been making a game lately and i have started to wonder if its worth paying money to get a game uploaded to the app store.
Can anyone who has uploaded games tell me if its worth it, if people actually download your games and if you have made your money back.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, you may not make it back but you get the satisfaction of making something that people enjoy and also the enjoyment of making a great game. It takes work but you'll love it.

Thanks, I think i will continue to make my game.
I really want to publish it to the app store but I'm using gamesalad on windows. Once i'm finished is anyone able to convert it for me if they are using a mac.

Thanks in advance.

This breaks GS ToS, and you will still need a Mac to upload the game to AppStore (using Application Loader in Xcode - which works only on Mac). If you give someone else to send it for you, you will have to give him your Apple dev password, which breaks Apple ToS.
And this person who has your password, can change your bank account number, or even steal your dev account.

oops I missed that bit. I suppose i mean the $99 for a apple dev certificate. So I can upload them to the app store.

@TheMoonwalls I am agree with you. And now with new xcode they provided inbuild application preloaded so you have to download 1.5 gb from here.
