Bah.. we just don't call it shareware anymore, but freemium.
And mission disks are called DLC.
Which also work with DRM free content. DRM and renting feels like short term gain to me.
- immibis 2y agoI've bought one mobile app in my life. It was a tower defense game. The first few levels were completely free. After that, the game sends monsters that are too tough to destroy with the towers in the free content of the game. You could pay $2.50 for more towers, $2.50 for more more towers, $2.50 for more levels, $2.50 for something I don't remember, as in-app transactions. I thought two things: "this game is fun enough to be worth $10," and "this is a really stupid way to do shareware."
- thesnide 2y agoThat's not shareware. At least not in the spirit. That's pay to win. Shareware is about more features /content and a clean cut out of them in the free version.
