Febuary was supposed to bring more game categories, up to 18 from the current 6. this is something that's been promised for a couple of years now, and crucial for independent developers to survive the biggest 'pay to play' companies taking over.
my roleplay games are under arcade and action now, a catagory for which you'll never reach the listings without a 6 figure download count. they've also switched from a list of one or two hundred icons to showing just a 5 icons under various groups like 'recommended for you' or 'editor's choice'. Samsung's become more aggressive in getting their site independent developer friendly, including giving 90% instead of the %70 google gives, it may be time for independents to jump ship. anyone have any inside scoop on whether we will see new catagories at all? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
