This article confirms my fears after noting that Apple hadn’t updated its downloads in over a month. The Apple Downloads section was my bread and butter for advertising new releases of my Mac software. Since apple discontinued its download section, my sales have taken a significant hit.

This section offered a compelling reason to develop Mac software. It provided an instant market place for my software and despite the mac market being smaller than the windows market, this connection point more than made up for this shortcoming. With its demise goes much of this advantage to the point where developing for Windows becomes much more attractive.
