Newly Formed ‘The International Game Developers Association’ Negotiates With Amazon’s Selfish pricing Of the Games


The video game developers have unanimously formed a group among themselves which will be representing the body and protecting their concerns, hence its first move was against Amazon.com Inc. Amazon has been accused of putting unnecessary pricing terms which will directly hurt the developers in the long run as they believe that Amazon is in pursuit of creating a monopoly in the market while selling Android games.
This unanimous body, give the name of an association ‘The International Game Developers Association’ published a mail to all its members updating them all regarding their conflict and progress of that conflict with Amazon. This mail was sent on Thursday and informed that their demand is for Amazon to require developers for permanently lower their prices on Amazon if they are offering a discount, even temporarily, on another outlet. It was written that "Amazon has little incentive not to use a developer's content as a weapon with which to capture marketshare from competing app stores.”

Another New App Titled Tweetbot Introduced Offering Same Services in Just the Best Manner


Mobile apps are now getting out of control; the success of the app development business has led it to great heights as thousands of new apps reach stores each day. Undoubtedly the best and most favorite client for these developers is Twitter, whereas, they’re also more inclined towards the platform of iPhone’s iOS rather than any other. One such new app in the app store is titled: ‘Tweetbot,’ which is anticipated to have a great shot at making money.
First thing first, even the icon of the app along with its promotional slogan is very attractive, as it says: “Tweetbot - A Twitter client with personality.” According to the assessment of MG Siegler, from the renowned technology blogging website, TechCrunch, that we have come so far in the app development business of twitter that this is now perhaps the post-client era for Twitter. But it cannot be ignored that twitter offers one of the largest audience for any app developers, hence remains the top favorite, even over Fabook, for most developers. Though after the immense success of apps like Tweetdeck, Echofon, Osfoora, Seesmic, Hootsuite, and others, to create another app in such competition is obviously a tough task. And, if any kind of app has been released by Twitter itself, it’s nothing more than the ‘go-to Twitter.com app.’
