@CraigGrannell @mjtsai What do you mean by lack of interest in games? Are you talking about AAA or an iOS issue with IAP based games?
Craig Grannell ‏@CraigGrannell Apr 14

@McCloudStrife @mjtsai A general lack of giving a shit about games and gaming.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Apr 14

@CraigGrannell @mjtsai Yes, I got that and I’m still not sure what you’re talking about - how about an example or two?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Apr 14

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell I’m not a gamer, not really my area. But one example would have to be the state of Game Center.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Apr 14

@mjtsai @CraigGrannell Ah okay now we’re talking. It sucks big time. I can see them thinking it doesn’t help the IAP-driven games maybe?
Craig Grannell ‏@CraigGrannell Apr 15

@McCloudStrife @mjtsai Beyond that, the store’s hopeless, indies are fleeing, and MFi was and is a mess - http://reverttosaved.com/2016/04/06/low-hanging-fruit-for-apple-and-gaming-part-one-mfi-controllers/ …

@CraigGrannell @mjtsai I don’t understand this part, why should a for-profit care for indies? Why not focus on helping the big, used, apps?
Craig Grannell ‏@CraigGrannell Apr 15

@McCloudStrife @mjtsai And if you give prominence only to those corporations with cash to throw around, the innovation will go away.

@CraigGrannell @mjtsai I still don’t understand why you think innovation for innovation’s sake matters more to a for-profit entity.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Apr 15

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell Because much of the value of Apple’s devices depends on what you can do with them, which apps are available.
