There are some but it's just extra worlds, the game is fully playable without buying them

That's exactly what I mean.

"Extra"... Not a fan of DLCs and all that junk at all...

I miss the good old times when the only thing that would top your freshly bought game were a deluxe edition or something like that... Those usually had no extra content, and if they did, you'd be able to buy it all in one. Simple!

This extra mini-purchasing, chasing for the 120% (extras, marketing say) to make a game really 100% (complete) in fact - aw man!

I can't stand in-app-purchases and the dependencies that come with it.

You can buy all the extra worlds for $2.98. I wish I could just up the price to $2.99 and not have to bother people with IAPs but the AppStore unfortunately doesn't work that way. It's incredibly hard to get people to spend $0.99 and borderline impossible to get them to spend more unless you're a big name company (I'm not). Pretty much the only way for indie devs to get sales on the AppStore is to keep the price free or $0.99 and use IAPs.

A cute little comic that explains this even better is this one: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/apps

I do know that many people don't care at all whether they end up paying 3 bucks this or either way, after they have purchased it.

Me however, I like my package all in one nicely fit together...

IAP always make me feel like... Miss out some app updates, later, waaay later come back to installing it again, trying to restore the purchases and ending up effed, because the app had been pulled (whatever reason), the purchase is not there anymore...

Now, with the all-in-one package, I'd have an outdated version, but complete... now, all that's left is IKEA furniture... You know what I mean :p

I simply don't feel comfortable about IAPs.

I know I'm in the minority of caring so much about preserving the integrity of my (later retro) purchases, but that's how I tick and that's all I claimed to state.

I see your dilemma and I know that I'm willing to spend more on a big brand App than on a possibly unrated indie App, however, I'd always fork out an extra buck to have it all in one package.

YES, I am paranoid. :p

*sigh*

IAPs... DIE!

or go with a dual strategy:

Free/Lite version + IAP

&

Full version

That's how many do it, that's my preferred way of making the compromises, (Y)

This is true... but, the majority of people do care. Also, there are a lot of apps out there where purchase are truly conditional. For example, I think some of the camera programs are a lot of fun to use (Hipstamatic, Instagram, etc), but I wouldn't want to own all of the lenses for them, nor would I want to pay $30 for the apps. There's definitely a middle ground for something like that.

On the other hand, a lot of the app store is basically the Gilette method: give away free (or, in the app store case, 99 cent) razors, charge for the razor blades.

Tangled (FREE)

That's more like it! (Y)

Might take a look at it quite soon.

I find myself going back to simpler games more and more recently.

Doesn't mean I don't enjoy the heavy games, but for a "quicky" a story focused game just isn't cutting it. ;)

Hmm, we can think of it this way, at least you know that if the game was crap, you didn't have to pay the whole $3 for it. If it was good, you go and buy what was necessary to complete it. Either way, you spend the same amount on a complete game. As long as IAP is not necessary to play the game normally, then i am happy.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8. In short, you have everything you need to get started. All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.

This flash deal expires on July 2. Next up is the highest savings on the A7 Max series of Mini PC in the Spring Sale. The GEEKOM [2026 Edition] A7 MAX with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, 16GB DDR5, and 1TB SSD. Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU Speed: 5.2 GHz Cache Size: 24 MB Graphics Card Description: Integrated Graphics Coprocessor: AMD Radeon 780M Memory Storage Capacity: 16GB DDR5 SSD: 1 TB We reviewed this Mini PC back in January, and praised it for its modern internals like a dedicated NPU and DDR5 memory; as such, it is more than capable of keeping up with today's offerings of Mini PC on the market.
