In a story about the latest and greatest from the WWDC, Brian McNicoll from Dynamo Games explained the need for a premium games channel on the app store.
The news about a premium channel on the App Store was brought to light by our friends over at PocketGamer who wrote a few stories on it. Over time though, the buzz seemed to have died.
In a recent interview with GamesIndustry about the announcements of WWDC 2009, Brian McNicoll from Dynamo Games grasped the chance to bring the subject back to the table.
