Peter Willington of Pocket Gamer:
No other piece of hardware in the last two decades has shaken up the games industry like the iPhone.The downloadable content-only model, along with a low barrier to entry for game makers to the App Store, propelled the independent dev scene forward in ways unimaginable prior to 2008. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that thousands of developers owe their livelihoods to Apple’s 3.5-inch touchscreen slab.
Many Apple enthusiasts will read this and say, “No duh,” but the iPhone still isn’t taken seriously by some gamers. Good to see it get its proper due here.
