Saptamana trecuta Apple a sarbatorit implinirea a 5 ani de la lansarea App Store-ului sau si pentru a marca asa cum se cuvine evenimentul, a ales sa colaboreze cu dezvoltatorii catorva dintre cele mai populare aplicatii din App Store. Timp de cateva zile, 10 aplicatii populare ale App Store-ului au fost oferite gratuit si promovate de catre Apple, iar dezvoltatorii lor au avut extrem de multe de castigat. Printre ei se numara si dezvoltatorii celebrului Infinity Blade II care a atras 6 milioane de utilizatori in cele 7 zile promotiei, in prima zi aplicatia generand 1.7 milioane de descarcari.
The action-RPG sword-fighting game added 5.7 million new players in seven days. Laura Mustard, publicist for the game’s developer, Chair Entertainment, said 1.7 million downloads occurred on Monday, the first day of the promotion. Those new downloads, three times what the iOS-exclusive IB2 gets in a normal week, amount to a short-term spike that could pay off big in the long term. Combined, the two Infinity Blades, both published by Epic Games, have now sold almost 50 million copies over the past two and a half years. A repeatedly delayed prequel, Infinity Blade: Dungeons, was officially said to be canceled last week.
Cresterea in descarcari generata de aplicatia principala a generat o crestere in descarcarile Infinity Blade, dar si a unei carti lansate in App Store, compania dezvoltatoare castigand extrem de multi bani pe termen lung. In cei 2.5 ani de existenta a seriei Infinity Blade in App Store, aproape 50 de milioane de copii ale jocurilor au fost achizitionate, cifra fiind enorma, daca stam sa ne gandim ca pretul lor normal este de 5.99$ si au implementate in-app purchase-uri.
