IGDA (International Game Developers Association) har med en noget usædvanligt træk forfattet et indlæg på deres officielle site, som kommer med en kraftig advarsel imod Amazons netop lancerede Android App Store. Det er Amazons distributionsmodel og især de rettigheder spiludviklere indirekte fraskriver sig, som IGDA advarer imod. har du selv sving i et lille indie-spil, bør nu nok lige nærlæse Amazons betingelser, før du springer på vognen. Især det at de kan bestemme udsalgsprisen på dit hårde arbejde, bør kunne skræmme en del udviklere langt væk.

Many journalists have noted the unusual nature of Amazon’s current store terms, but little has been said about the potential implications of those terms. In brief: Amazon reserves the right to control the price of your games, as well as the right to pay you “the greater of 70% of the purchase price or 20% of the List Price.” While many other retailers, both physical and digital, also exert control over the price of products in their markets, we are not aware of any other retailer having a formal policy of paying a supplier just 20% of the supplier’s minimum list price without the supplier’s permission.
