So why not do licensing based on OS revision?
i.e. "You bought Space Trader for Android 6. You've since upgraded to Android 8. Cough up another $.99 for the Android 8 version, or continue enjoying what you paid for on another device running Android 6."
It seems fair to me, but I could see this becoming a lot of clutter (rebuying v4-v5-v6-v7-v8 and having as many apps in your library).
- AlexandrB 9y agoThis has a really big downside, which is that every OS upgrade now has a cost associated with it for the user. Would greatly slow adoption of new iOS & Android versions, potentially harming security.
- jstarfish 9y agoTrue, I considered that but smartphones aren't known for longevity. Sooner or later end of service life (or just the "ooh shiny" factor) will force an upgrade on the user.
