Mobile game development for the iOS platform has come of age and the future might just showcase the bright side up for indie mobile games and their development.

The MacHeist bundle was introduced in December 2006 to huge success within the Macintosh community. The software bundle offered 10 of the Mac indie development community's best offerings, and was available at the end of the MacHeist promotion for one week. The bundle was called the greatest Mac software deal in history, and has never been available since then. Customers snapped up over 16,000 copies, and donated 25% of their purchase to various charities. After over $190,000 was raised by customers by the end of the sale, MacHeist topped it off and $200,000 was raised in total. But we didn't stop there... in 2007 we held MacHeist II and it became the biggest Mac shareware event ever. Quite possibly the biggest software event ever on any platform. We had more of everything: more missions, more puzzles, more free Mac software, and more of you... and the community grew to become one of the largest Mac communities on the net! Then we topped it off with a truly amazing deal... 14 Top Mac apps worth right around $500 for the same low $49 price. How did it do? Well, we sold almost 44,000 bundles and $500,000 was raised for charity. Truly amazing! Now we're back in full-force with MacHeist 3, and we're here to bring you the most spectacular Mac software event in history.

So I'm back home in Canada for the holidays, my old hood's by the university/downtown so emos + yuppies = MACBOOKS everywhere!!!. Ughhhghghhgh, Mac World is seriously some indie novelty cult; I wouldn't be surprised to her of them all drinking cyanide laced kool-aid if some Genius bar - DORKS!
