People don't pay up front for games anymore. They need to make a MV 2 that is free with a few levels + IAP to unlock the rest. That way more people can get hooked to the game mechanic and decide to upgrade.
Also, it still looks like android users expect free-ish games.
- JabavuAdams 12y agoThere is a group of people who want to pay up-front for games. It's a question of whether you can make this a viable business model. I was chatting with the CEO of a company that makes kids' games, and he mentioned some interesting feedback from parents: The price of a $1 game isn't really $1, because they had to buy a bunch before finding one their kid liked. So, they would happily pay more than $1 for a trusted brand that's likely to satisfy their kids.
