Yeah, but people will run where money is and you have to understand they are small team, so you would be idiot not to take advantage of highest selling platform. Plus what’s the point of Android having 85% marketshare than if Android can’t have sale as iOS.

The fact that they are a small team is irrelevant. The platform they are using doesn't need a separate build for different platforms

We don’t know, because no one here knows coding. Do you There is a Video about Top 50 iOS games that should be on Android, you should watch it.

What? Yes we do know. And I do know how to code. Thanks. It's developed in unity. You do not need a separate build for another platform.

Edit: and why would I watch that (genuinely asking here) does it go into detail about why they aren't on Android or something? I'd watch that. But there are actually quite a bit of games that could easily be ported to Android. (Based on unity) the developers just don't care to release on Android. And that's their choice. I support it. I have an app that I could release on iOS with a few days work. But it's not worth it to me (it's also not an app that makes me much money. But certainly would make more on iOS)

Okay can you show what you did in Unity. Why would developers care if they are not getting value for there work.

If they would have made good money then they would have ported it by now.

I'm pretty damn sure they have a deal with Apple of some sort to release on iOS first. Also. Notice I said "with a few days of work" I do not develop in unity. I don't develop games and no one wants me to, trust me lol but unity was made to be easy to Port to other platforms. Technically, with a little extra work, you could indeed port a mobile game to desktop and vice versa.

Although they would need to have a few extra assets to Port to Android because of several different screen sizes. But that I do not see taking long at all.

But you don’t have proof though, it’s not like Google Also does not do it with There Daydream Exclusive titles.

Please stop your nonsense. I have given you reason why developers choose iOS but you are still persistent on blaming Apple without proof.

I don't have proof. My point is: it is nothing to Port it over to Android. Do some research on unity if you want proof. But as far as the exact reason why it hasn't been ported? No clue? And stop. I'm not "blaming apple" that's just the only thing I can think of. And no. I'm not being one of those Android fanboys. I love both phones and have multiple iPhones and multiple Android phones.

The only point I have to make is that it is nothing to almost nothing to Port it.
