iPhone: The great game development equaliser

Apple's device encouraging solo developers to take on the likes of EA

“I'm certain that some developers will try going independent,” Scott-Baron tells ME sister site Develop in an interview published today.

“I think the iPhone has shown me that any game can stand a chance when placed against larger publishers such as EA, especially in an environment where independent games can get just as much attention,” he added.
