100m downloads and counting for Mac App Store

MCV Staff 14th December 2011 Business News

Over 100 million apps have been downloaded from the Mac App Store since its launch in January earlier this year.

The milestone for the Mac store comes after the huge success of the App Store for iOS, which currently has more than 500,000 uploaded apps and has seen more than 18 billion downloads.

Apple also claims the App Store continues to generate one billion downloads per month.

In just three years the App Store changed how people get mobile apps, and now the Mac App Store is changing the traditional PC software industry,” said Apple’s senior VP of worldwide marketing Philip Schiller.

With more than 100 million downloads in less than a year, the Mac App Store is the largest and fastest growing PC software store in the world.”

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
