> But it's still a failure, because it's bad for developers who have to support multiple APIs and bad for users who likely won't get some titles for their platform because developers have no resources to support multiple APIs.
That doesn't make it a failure, that makes it something you don't like.
This could easily be very big. If it helps developers make faster/better looking games on iOS they'll do it, especially if it's supported by middlware (since most devs probably don't make their own engine).
It that happens to make it harder to port games to Android (or at least get them to look as good), so much the better for Apple.
