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Now, with the all-in-one package, I'd have an outdated version, but complete...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.

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
    • On my music making (non internet) PC Sony Acid Pro 7.0 Adobe Audition 2015 Korg Legacy Collection Windows 7 SP1
    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
