For the Apple, with a limited customer base and distribution channel, this is indeed a game changer. Developers have had to put an awful lot of effort into getting the word out about their apps, and even more effort into getting it distributed by someone other than themselves.
This has always been an issue with Macs, which initially had leverage into the marketplace by piggybacking onto Apple // software sales, but since the 1990’s has struggled to get even basic apps into the marketplace at large.
I wish Apple the best, and am excited for Apple owners who finally have easy options available to them, without having to transplant a geek into their livingroom to find the software.
A thousand titles.. For a lot of Mac owners, that’s the largest collection of software that’s been available since the days of BBSs.
