Planeshift in the Mac App Store?
« on: January 27, 2011, 08:46:36 pm »
Having just gotten the Mac app store, I think it would probably be a good idea to put planeshift into it.  It would considerably boost our playerbase in my opinion.  I just am not sure if Planeshift will be allowed in, since Apple is famous for having funky guidelines for letting apps in [it's not because of content, but apparently you need to have a certain type of language, or so I hear]

Anyway, what do you guys think?

Great idea to up some players. I also don't know but I think Apple makes you pay to have an app in their app store (depending on where in the app store). But then what would I know, last I heard th app store is only for iPods, iPhones and iPads  :-\

The app store specifically disallows all beta software.

PS has not even hit beta yet.

Apple appstores have issues with GPL. VLC was pulled out of one recently because of it. The whole idea of their appstore isn't good really. It was coined the 'wallet garden'.

*nods*
Apple demands to be the only way of distribution. GPL says you need to Source. Does not work together.

So true! Oh I like their Macbook on the outside but the inside is crap.

You should of made a poll as well, seeing how many people use Mac, Win, or Linux to see if it is worth the effort or we need more mac users or whatever.

Last I checked PS was on the list of games for Mac OSX on Apple.com anyway.

There is nothing wrong with making profit per se. Methods of doing it can be quite wrong though. Apple's approach is known as "the walled garden" (which was jokingly coined "the wallet garden"). That approach goes along with other DRM methods, where Apple tries to ban anything competing from their controlled appstore (thus walled). That's the reason for example why Fennec (Mobile Firefox) isn't available for iOS.

Regular MacOS is less of a problem so far, since one can simply ignore the wallet garden, and install anything at will (it's possible with iOS with jailbreaking). But it seems Apple is moving away from it slowly. As someone asked "what kind of system should be broken, to make it work?".
