Title is pretty linkbait: Apple didn't mess up in any way.
But article is still interesting. Summary:
Free to play game. Millions of dollars in free advertising from Apple. Over half a million "sales" (downloads). But the idiots only had a total of $4 maximum of in-app purchases in the game. So they made it impossible for their best fans to pay them much, while also not taking any money at all from the masses. So they didn't get paid much by anyone.
- 2muchcoffeeman 14y agoI dislike IAP, so I simply stopped downloading any game which was free to play and required IAP. It almost always feels like a scam. There have been a few exceptions, but not many. Had they given me the content up front and charged for the game, I'd have bought it probably. Not sure how much of the gaming population I represent though.
