Game subscription app pulled from app store

Yesterday I reported on The BigFishGames subscription app debut on the app store.

For reasons unknown, even to BigFishGames, Apple pulled the app from the App store after only one day, according to a MacRumors article.

BigFish founder Paul Thelen seemed surprised as well, saying that Apple and BigFish Games had been working together for the past few weeks, making sure all the requirements would be met, which they were.

Apple declined to comment to Bloomberg, who did the story, and also had not reported back to BigFish Games on why the app was pulled.

Game subscription on the App Store

Big Fish Games will offer a subscription for games on the App store, according to this article on the Bloomberg website.

The subscription model, which has only been used by news publications, will cost $4.99 to start. Next year, as more game titles become available, the price is set to go up to $6.99. A cost-free, ad supported model, will also be available, all though it will be limited to 30 minutes of game play per day.
