Can anyone share thier experience about publishing games to Mac App Store and Windows 8 Store? I want to publish my game on both desktop platforms, but to be honest I don't want to spend 100$ at once for each platform license since I don't know any of it. I'd like to start with platform with better potential income, then in the next step the other one.

    Mac platform is so similar to iPhone the transition is easy.

    Win8 has some different steps to take, and really requires a touch device to test on. So that's something to keep in mind

    Well I have not heard of anyone getting rich yet off windows. though most people don't get rich off mac either. but the chances are likely slightly better since windows 8 in general has not been well received and the store as well has not exploded like they had hoped.

    MacStore has been great for me. The extra 99$ is nothing compared to the potential payback.
