[casual_games] Game portal script

Yes, but iPhone is also an open platform isn't it?  Dunno how much difference that would make, but at the least it would mean way more people taking a crack at it.

Not likely....XBLA and WiiWare both opened with a similar royalty rate is that had no impact on Casuals.  On the other hand, the comparably lower price of casual games on these other platforms ($0.99 - 9.95) vs the standard $19.95 PC casual price point make the lower royalty rates a little easier to stomach.

Out of interest, do you think apple's app store pricing -developer gets 70%- is going to exert any pressure on casual games sites to change their rates?

(im not picking on Colin, but isn't the apple rate substantially above what most casual portals do today?)
