Telltale games recently released The Walking Dead for iOS, pricing it at $4,99. Senior VP of publishing Steve Allison has said that the common perception that iOS gamers are only willing to pay a dollar for a game is a myth.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview, Allison said that gamers can appreciate and respect good quality iOS games, and Telltale has set The Walking Dead at the right price.<\/p>\n
“We knew The Walking Dead was shaping up to be a great touch screen experience and as our first universal iOS title that would also be available on console, $4.99 an episode is consistent with our past successful experiences on the App Store and with the pricing on other platforms,” said Allison.<\/p>\n
“The idea of a 99c gamer on iOS is more myth than fact, it’s the quality and depth of each product that will drive the right price for consumers. We’ve had a great initial launch as a top 10 title with no signs of slowing down and great feedback on the game from people who have bought the game for their iOS devices.”<\/p>\n
“This is the right price for our game and it has not impeded our ability to get people interested in buying it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Walking Dead is currently available for purchase on the App Store, and is supported by iPad 2 and iPhone 4 and up. If you\u2019re a hipster 3GS user like me, you may have to stick to Angry Birds.<\/p>\n
