Sam & Max: Beyond Time & Space episode 1 now on iOS

On a whim, I'm going to hazard a guess that it may be for quality and size.
The general rule of most mobile stores, especially the Apple App store, is that you aren't ever guaranteed quality save for the publisher/developer's name. Telltale's fairly well associated with quality, especially with Sam & Max.
On top of that, it's a relatively large title for a mobile title, at least in length. I will point out that it's about 1/3 the price of the L&O Legacies season pass, so again, I'm thinking the Sam & Max name has something to do with it.

Also, am I alone in thinking "So why on earth isn't Sam & Max Season 1 on the appstore yet?" I loved season 1 and I'd think it should get ported before season 2. Devil's Playhouse I can understand, as it was sort of an early voyage into iTerritory for the dog and rabbitything, but again I'd think they would work on a Mac and iDevice port for season 1.

Meant to say "it's a relatively large size for a mobile title".

There's never been any rhyme or reason to Telltale's decision to put stuff on iOS. It'll probably show up there, eventually.

@Razer922

You may be right about the licensing fees. I wanted to get the BTTF games a while back but I remember them being equally expensive. I guess my only real issue with the prices is due to the fact that I've gotten a ton of games for my iPad in the past year, but all I end up playing is Tiny Tower (free) and Jetpack Joyride ($1) while everything else just sort of clutters up my home screen.

First world problems...

@Gibbeynator
True. But Season 1 hasn't even had a Mac OSX port, and I have absolutely no idea why that seemingly hasn't been touched.

@Razer922

Maybe it's just too old at this point.

The stories aren't THAT connected, but there's a quite a few callback jokes.
