[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] US Deck

[Jorge Gonzalez Sanchez]

I suppose most of you who know a lot about this (or help built it) will be
reluctant to answer such a thing, but we are kind of discovering this "deck"
thing on the US market (we never sold our products there and it's the first
time we hear of such a thing).

My question is... is it possible to get a good quality, lenghty, feature
packed, game on deck even if it bears no license?

And the second question is, what is the name of the companies which hold the
gates to this "deck", since in the US 'content aggregators' don't seem to
matter a lot. Not the companies themselves, but the name of the type of
company, so as too google up for them. We've talked to a number of US
companies, but it was always a dead end.

The US and Brazil are weird markets, and we haven't been able to break in
them so far (We are selling in brazil, through a main channel, but the sales
are almost non-existant, compared to the size and activity of their market)

cheers,

PD: William, you are right about "the interface is the game". If the
interface is cumbersome, the game is broken and hence no fun. You can see
that easily in 3D softwhere, whereas people using the good ones have fun
doing stuff, while the ones using crappier software get angry and confused
at the UI all the time. Both want to do the same, and know that the fun is
there, but one of them sees it too far off and ends up quitting.
