Summary
A new app store aimed at mobile gamers, Skich, has launched in the European Union (EU), taking advantage of recently loosened regulations around Apple’s App Store.
It is one of very few alternative iOS marketplaces, including AltStore PaL, SetApp Mobile and Mobivention.
Although it is available to download via the Skich website, it currently has no games available for users.
The CEO of Skich said the company is in talks with around 20 developers and games are expected to start appearing in March.
Skich will charge developers a 15% fee on purchases, compared to the 20% Apple charges in the EU.
The app uses a Tinder-like recommendation engine powered by 240 genres, 14 times the amount available in the App Store.
