iTunes games launched in South Africa

Now I can release my game: Angry Turds. You play as an ANC supporter throwing turds at oncoming cars on the N2 in Cape Town. When you hit a white driver you get a super turd that will stop a truck. When a car pulls off after it was hit you can raid the car for treasure. Treasure can buy you golden buckets and bling.

Cant you simply go into the settings and change the region,I'm pretty sure you can I did that to get BBM for IOS when it was only available on the new zealand appstore and it worked,so just go ahead and change your region in your phone settings under the appstore menu....

You can switch to different regions , but your logged in account will always override and default to the region on the account (on the ipad anyway) . I have a USA and SA account on my ipad. Ever since music/movies was launched in SA Itunes i bought that and apps with my SA account and switched to USA account to buy games. You only need the account to install the games/apps, not to run them. Once it's on your device it doesn't matter which account you bought it with. They also seemed to have streamlined the updating process where in the past you had to constantly switch accounts to update the apps, but now it doesn't seem to require that.

So i will now have a ton of games still linked to my USA account, but i'm definitely going to start buying the rest on my SA account, so tired of buying overpriced vouchers!

I agree. It was getting tedious to buy vouchers and pay an extra premium. The only advantage I can think of in keep the US store account is the iTunes Radio.
 
Hoorah! And about time. I can finally purchase my own product in my own country without violating some end user licence agreement. +1 for locally produced games.

Read the article again. Well done not apple but FPB. They did not allow Apple to distribute games through the local app store. Now they have allowed them.

So what you are saying is that Google Play managed to get approval three years before Apple did? I'm sticking with my statement.
