Yes compared to the Unity deal this offer is the way i also suggested they should have dealt with Unity. Primary generate your profit through the number of additional sales instead of charging extra fees for the publishing possibility.
The cheapest route with Unity is by bying Unity Indie and iPhone Indie (both restricted versions, actually way too much as you can't even implement a proper highscorelist and come with an splash screen) which goes for $600+VAT ($200+$400+VAT) and the Pro solution for $3000+VAT ($1500+$1500) or if you're after the Pro version with asset server even $3500+VAT. To be fair i still think that Unity is ahead of Shiva from it's capabilities but maybe you're fine with what Shiva is able to do already.
In my opinion too expensive if you're counting in additional platforms, maybe android at some point or most probably the money you'll have to invest for updates. (tool plus all the publishing options).
Well, i already said that i'm unhappy with the Unity deal anyway.
