RIM is ready to give developers their own tablets if developers will make games for BlackBerry.
The team that released the game under BB10, personally approved by RIM, will receive $ 100. When publishing several games, developers can receive additional prizes from the company: from one to three games – a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet as a gift, from five to ten games – a Dev Alpha smartphone with a BB10 test version, more than ten games – a free ticket to GDC 2013.
The BB10 Developer Financial support campaign starts on November 16 and is part of a campaign to attract game developers. The company is also going to launch the Port-a-Thon service, which allows you to quickly port games to BlackBerry.
Recall that last month RIM announced a competition in which developers who have earned from $1,000 on the BB10 platform store will receive a bonus of $10,000 from RIM.
What effect the measures taken will bring to RIM is a big mystery both for outside observers and for RIM itself.
