Apple has quietly started curating the Games section of the U.S. App Store instead of using generated lists to highlight new titles, notes TechCrunch. Gone are the “New”, “What’s Hot” and “All iPhone (Free & Paid)” sections and in their place are new curated sections.The removal of the “All iPhone (Free & Paid)” section was likely in part due to abuse on the part of app developers, as a number of publishers listed their games with “AAA” or “AAAAA” or other “A” words in order to show up first. That seemed to be an odd strategy since it’s unclear how many consumers will willingly download an app with a title that appears so spammy. But just as with the phone book in years past, there are always those businesses who believe that simply being at the top of a list is the key to success.The old new release section was based on download volume but did give indie developers a chance to be featured if they could generate a lot of volume in the first few days of their release.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
