>I'm more than willing to shell out for a quality game upfront, and do so without hesitation. clearly you are in the tiny minority >Free game no such thing. people need to make money, they don't just have time to make great games and give them away. I understand not wanting to "pay to win" but IAP isn't at fault here. Also, these games are very obvious. if you don't want to do it, just don't play those games. >If your app/game is of high quality, let me try it for a few minutes and I'll buy it if I like it, no problem. wait wait wait. you JUST said you were willing to shell out for a quality game upfront. After downloading it free and playing it is not in fact upfront.

This whole comment is pretty silly and trollbaity, so I'll only bother addressing what I think was your primary snark. > wait wait wait. you JUST said you were willing to shell out for a quality game upfront. After downloading it free and playing it is not in fact upfront. Sure it is: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2844909?hl=en https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2844909?hl=en If I don't ask for a refund after the first 15 minutes, it's a done deal. Most app authors would probably prefer that I get a refund instead of buying their app and leaving a negative rating.

  Psychologically it is not the same. One action requires you to get out a credit card and then later do more work to get a refund. One of theM is actually free. Not to mention that this only covers 1 of the 2 major platforms. No free demo refund on iOS. What would you propose for iOS games?

    > One action requires you to get out a credit card and then later do more work to get a refund No, it doesn't. Hit Buy, open the app. Don't like it? Open Play store, hit Refund within 15 minutes of purchase. Done. > No free demo refund on iOS. What would you propose for iOS games? I don't propose anything for Apple/iOS. I have an Android. This article is about the Google Play store.
