- drzaiusapelord 14y agoThis is an excellent point. I hate this Forbsian POV here of how making the most money is the most important thing ever. I had an iphone for a while and felt forced into buying 99 cent apps for basic usage. On android, a lot of this stuff is free. Maybe android appeals to people who don't feel blowing $100 on apps or in game items is acceptable. Regardless, I don't see android or its app selection hurting because of it. Not to mention, android appeals to power users who probably have a xbox or gaming PC anyway. If I'm going to be stuck in a skinner box for hours, I'd prefer the one with the big screen and the slick graphics.
- option_greek 14y agoIt depends on which side you are on :) You might love to buy android phone but will you develop for it knowing it wont bring as much money...
- Retric 14y agoA friend went back to iPhone because there was no option to buy angry birds at the time. Paying X to avoid advertising popup's is a feature many people want.
- sek 14y agoYour friend went back to the iPhone because Angry Birds has ads? Everybody seems to have his own priorities.
- jamesgeck0 14y agoHonestly, I'd be willing to pay more for games if it meant there was a better selection of high quality games to pay for. Android is somewhat lacking in this department.
- davedx 14y agoHonestly, I'd be willing to make more games for Android if my games weren't completely drowned out by the insane volume of utter shite pumped onto the Android Market.
