I agree, but I just thought it was always a strong strategic move for Android because all the people who wanted to play Donkey Kong or Zelda would at least have the option to do so, whereas for iOS you have to jailbreak your device.

It seems like the timing is too coincidental/coordinated with the Sony Xperia Play phone launching. Why would you buy games from the PSN store when you can buy an emulator for $8 and then get the games for free? It's in Google's interest to

I would think that more people would want to play Super Mario on their phones than Angry Birds just based on familiarity. How many billions of people know Mario and how to play it already? Final Fantasy 1/2/3 are selling well on iOS. What i

You're arguing against a strawman, most of the comments here have been positive and the article even says: But is a loss really a loss? The important aspect of this 99-cent promotion is the value of the increased traffic and awareness. It h

I bought the album just to get the 20GB Cloud drive space free for a year. Definitely a great deal and I'm sure the product awareness from the promotion was cheaper and more effective than traditional ads.

I know of a few companies where it's hard to find someone below the level of director, dozens of AVP/VP/SVPs, and at least 10 C-level execs. I think it's a way of attracting people without having to pay them more. This seems like a societal
