    Thanks Guys! Yeah There are 2 other apps "waiting for review" on apple side and 2 rejected because of IDFA. Now they want me to send them a video of me showing them the adds in the game.. What ever.

    I keep you guys updated.

    It will be interesting to see what this marketing agency can do since I know their business partners are big ones. Also my old game company (not longer big company) where I worked as an employe before belongs to their customers.

    Some good info . . .

    One correction . . . "The main money comes through 2 of my 26 live apps. Which are Three Points, which was picked and featured by apple and PewDiePug a game that gets inane ratings and constant downloads due the strong fans/Bro’s of PewDiePie."

    'Inane' means 'stupid' or 'idiotic', I think you mean 'insane' ! :smile:

    Thanks for sharing BigDave... You got me thinking, to be profitable - is it better to make a 15-20 games a year and hope one of them becomes a hit. Or Should we invest 3-5 titles a year focus more on quality of our game and be successful that way? I'm on the fence with this...

    Thank you for sharing your Experience BigDave. I am getting ready to start developing games full time next year as well. I just released one a few days ago and I will be starting another this Friday that will be completed by the second week of January. Both are for the educational market place.

    Dale,
