Epic's Mike Capps says 99-cent apps are 'killing' mainstream studios

"If there's anything that's killing us [in the traditional games business] it's dollar apps," admitted Capps in an interview withcontinuing, "How do you sell someone a $60 game that's really worth it ... They'r൲e used to 99 cents. As I said, it's an uncertain time ꦉin the industry. But it's an exciting time for whoever picks the right path and wins."

Capps added there's never been a more unstable time to run a studio like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games consid🐬ering the rising number of distribution models and gaming technologies,many o♊f which remain unproven and therefore a considerable risk.

“We have not been this uncertain about what's coming ꦓnext in the games industry since Epic's been around for 20 years,” said Capps, explaining, “We're at such an inflection point. Will there be physical distribution in 10 years or even five? Will anyone care about the next console generation? What's going on in PC? Can you make money on PC if it's not a connected game? What's going on in mobile? … [there are] tons of scary things.”

Wary though he may be, Epic Games was recently brave enough to release Infinity Blade for iPhones and iPads late last year,earning more than $1.64 million in its first five days in the App Store,and becoming the澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:fastest selling iOS app ever. You know,so𒊎mething tells us Epic will be just fine.
