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Now, with the all-in-one package, I'd have an outdated version, but complete...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

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
