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Now, with the all-in-one package, I'd have an outdated version, but complete...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

    • 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!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
