Am I the only person who thinks we have a funny game theory situation where developers should stop giving their apps away for free on Android so that users get used to paying the same way they do on iOS?
I don't really understand why Angry Birds is free on Android? Anybody know?
Angry Birds is also free on iOS, that is the lite version with ads. Then users like me get addicted to the gameplay and a few times of getting nag-screened is enough for me to purchase.
As a consumer, I like this approach with games because many times there are games that are fun, but just not fun enough for a purchase or the replay-ability factor is just low. So if I find myself going back to a game more than a few times, the purchase is such low cost (less than coffee) that it is worth it to get rid of nag-screens.
Also, regarding Android and free... most people that buy Android phones are expecting free stuff. The cost of those phones is roughly the same as an iPhone, it's just the mindset is different.
