I downloaded one of my games, only for it to install a completely different game. It seems like a rushed process that doesn't respect our work. The wrapper, for the HTML5 you've used doesn't run the games in the best way, with apps not shutting down or crashing etc. Can you confirm or deny whether GameSalad earned any money from the agreement with Amazon? If you did, then thats no longer s become a financial transaction, and not the same as being given permission for promotional purposes.ģ) The Apps have been published in a shoddy way, with little to no quality control. this is misleading/confusing.Ģ) With regards to ok'ing apps on the Arcade for Promotional purposes. but its not a channel, its just mass publishing apps, in an Android compatible format. Any chance of someone from GS giving some input/response?ġ) References keep being made to the GameSalad/Arcade channel on Amazon.

It was never our intent to publish ineligible games and we’re sorry for anyone that was affected by this. Some games that shouldn’t have been published were accidentally included. It turns out that we made a mistake in how we flagged eligible games in our database when we sent over a batch of files to Amazon. It’s a great opportunity to get exposure for GameSalad devs and show off their great work to a larger audience. These games are free for Amazon users, and showcase what our community is doing with GameSalad. Many of the games on the GameSalad Arcade were also eligible. Any of the games submitted during our recent game jams were part of this promotion. Some of these promotional opportunities recently involved publishing eligible GameSalad games to a GameSalad Arcade promotional channel on the Amazon store.

As many of you know, GameSalad has an ongoing relationship with Amazon to support our developer community and provide exclusive promotional opportunities.
