Tizen Revival

Franto

So for some reason, I felt like checking up on Tizen again, and lo and behold, there's fresh news on it, just hours old, talk about a "sixth sense" lol. {Or just a really good coincidence! Lol.}

Tizen had just launched it's first and only phone, the Z1, January of this year, and now as of today, announced even more new phones.

What do you think? Will you be submitting a game to the Tizen store and getting a foothold in a fresh and new app market?

EDIT: Samsung even has a "Tizen TV".

With 1,000,000 Tizen users and the number growing. Do you think it would be lucrative to port for Tizen, or should we wait for iAP to be implemented? I'm thinking of going the premium route with this market.

i published like 10-15 games to Tizen, and 10 months later they changed some requirements that invalidated like 75% of them. I never bothered fixing those.

I have to agree with this. I am in the same boat. The best thing about Tizen publishing was the GS incentives other than that I have not had much success with Tizen so I'd rather make apps and games for the fruit company .... Just my two cents ...
