Application Signing at a Standstill?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 02:56 PM
This is what I was afraid would happen with the signing of applications for the Orange SPV. Douglas Beck, one of the most talented game programmers I've met, had this to say on Smartgamer.org:
"Even though my titles are already certified, the remaining process of getting the logo, certification and the applications digitally signed has been at a complete standstill for over a month. My attempts to expedite the process have gone completely unanswered. It's very disappointing for me personally. It has already cost me in lost opportunities. I also take pride in timely releases and relying on other organizations that don't care much is a new situation that I don't care for much. My games have been complete for months now. I'll release them just as soon as I can. I have been pressing the issue for the last two months with limited success."
Note to Orange: if you're going to force developers to go through application certification, and make they pay for the privilege, at least get a good system in place!
