>From what I read, yes. They thought that, and I do somewhat agree here, no offense meant, that several of these apps essentially share the same general template. I’m sure other devs will or have been forced to do something similar. I also don’t see that many devs with over this many games so there is that. I’m not trying to start a debate here, but it should definitely be a thing to think about. That’s a lot of apps to keep updated all at once with new iterations of iOS. Why not make it into one, 2, or 3 apps and that way only three apps instead of 80 smaller ones need to be updated. Is that not less work, in the long term?

Thats fine, audiogamehub is all one app there is blind cricket which is a seperate app. As for merging apps, I fail to see what the issue is. At sonnar all apps are made by themselves in unity, if all one needs to do is merge them into one, then all you need is a menu pritty much and an over all tutorial then just drop the entire thing in and just call it blind fold games something whatever you want. arcade or something. And then you have 1 app to update or something.
