I envy Ethan Nicholas

I hate Ethan Nicholas!

... Well, actually I just envy him so much it hurt! Another thing that hurt is my lef thumb because I accidently cut a bit of it off yesterday while chopping lettuce. But that's another story, the bleeding just stopped so I'm okay except for the fact that I can't navigate the left analogue stick for a  while.

Anyway, this Ethan Nicholas guy.

He makes this game for the iPhone and iPod Touch and guess what? Now he's filthy rich!

I found out about it on Finger Gaming:

What’s particularly interesting, however, is that the article reveals the numbers needed for a title to become the App Store’s biggest seller in the Games category. iShoot reached the top spot after achieving more than 10,000 daily downloads — that’s a daily cut of $21,000, after figuring in Apple’s percentage of the take. So, Nicholas is unbelievably rich now, basically. Good job, man.

iShoot. Guess I'll have to buy it so the guy gets even richer...
