As the AppStore struggles under the weight of new games published every day, is the gloss coming off the iPhone? And if so, will Apple respond by becoming the gatekeeper of AppStore – in effect, the most powerful publisher in mobile gaming?
PocketGamer.biz has just published an opinion piece of mine talking about the threats to the iPhone: essentially, the risk that it fails to manage its success.
