The Ubuntu Store is dying

Postby dedanna1029 » 24 Aug 2015, 22:20

No thanks to Canonical, it seems. They're killing it, and have been doing it without even notifying developers. This is going to affect a lot of people, even if the store has been crap.

More here.

Yes it seems that they are making the same mistake as Microsoft:
They are going for the phone while all their customers are using it on computers. The devs will naturally jump over to Apple Microsoft and Google platforms because they are more predictable.

Canonicals biggest market is in India so they might have a bright future yet. Apparently the Ubuntu phone will be sold there.

Yeah, well, it's a pain in the arse. Especially on Win 8.1
