I haven't taken the iOS plunge yet so can't compare the two. But that's why I'm now here using Stencyl.

But I have used the Mac App Store... and while I'll be comparing two separate games the difference in sales says something for the Mac App Store advantage.

Soulless - sold from my own website (doesn't meet the MAS guidelines) 30 sales.
Powerslam - sold on the Mac App Store 300 sales.

So I had to give it a go.
And, it works on Stencyl 3.0!
Mac game nr. 2 is in review, and they passed in iOs versions, so my hopes are up.
The point is that Mac App store builds in 3.0 are possible and working like a breeze.
Come on, Stencylers, the Mac app store is underpopulated, and we can do something about it! ;)

We don't want to let Apple make more money. We want them to make less money.

Why? Just curious.

Apple has too much money. They are an evil company. They are the new M$, except they charge even higher prices.

No, brethren. I say, down with the high prices! Down with the monopolies! Comrades, we will tear down the barriers that separate the Poor from the Rich. The Middle from the Low. The High from the Middle. We shall all be One, and tear down these big businesses!

Apple isn't a monopoly. I don't think you understand what that word means.
