Filed under: Gaming , iPhone , iPod touch Well, even with rampant piracy , review craziness , and that funky approval process , it’s good to hear that someone can still make a truckload of cash on the App Store. According to Reuters, that someone is Tapulous , who is apparently making almost a million dollars a month thanks to twenty million downloads of their Tap Tap Revenge game. We recently talked to Andrew Lacy on the release of said game back in October, and he told us that the game’s in-app purchase features (you get the game for cheap, and then have a chance to buy lots of extra music to play in packs and bundles) would be the “first big test of in-app commerce at a much grander…
