Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

2 different IDP account -> 1 Bank A/C

Dear all,

I just created a new IDP account today but I can't be bothered to create another bank account.

Has anyone tried having two different IDP accounts paying into the same bank a/c?

Thanks

    Why would you want another IDP account for? What's wrong with your existing one?

    If it were me, creating a new developer account would be a much more of a bother than opening another bank account. That, plus what Nejin said.

    Nothings wrong, one is for Utility apps and the other is for Multiplayer online games. Two different brands.

    You sure? It just took me half a day from signup to approval without having to walk out of my house for an IDP account.

    I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't sure. It took them several days to approve my registration, and my bank is a few hundred yards from me.

    EDIT: Just out of curiosity, why do you think it would be beneficial to have to accounts instead of one? If nothing else, having multiple apps under the same publisher gives you more exposure, if someone likes one of your apps they might be inclined to check other apps you have.

    My multiplayer games are card games, one is black jack and the other is poker.
    So people discovering black jack might find poker interesting too.
    As you know, in the itunes page, there is a space where it shows other games by this developer and if I put all my new games in the same account as my utility app account, they might get buried.

    And its not just that, its really about branding i think. My main stream of income had been utility apps and now I want to make an online gaming brand so registered another domain for my games too and it might make sense to put them in one spot.

    Opening my business banking account took 10 mins and I didn't have to leave my house either. Did it all online. :)

    He wants to create another brand for games.

    I think that's the right approach. For example, we call ourselves QuillGames. Who would buy from us an enterprise app like a CRM? No-one. You tell folks you are a game developer and everybody assumes you are playing games all day...

    Why not call your self something universal which doesn't say you're just a game developer then? Microsoft makes games, operating systems, programming languages/tools, DBMS, enterprise software etc.

    Because we currently focus on making games.

    If you remember, a few years ago Microsoft was heavily branding their games as Microsoft Games Studios.

    I guess we could have gone with something more universal in case we wanted to develop the occasional non-game app.

    To tell you the truth, I wanted to name ourselves KickAssGamesThatWillBlowYourMind TM, but my partners had some objections...:(

    :) At least the .com domain name for that would have been easily available :)
