qubodup {l Wrote}:All I can think of is that you might want to make google play android versions free with IAP and ads.
Edit: If it's well established by market studies that Android gamers only play gratis games, then the game could come as a free long demo or 1st episode, and the rest would be paid-for material; once people started playing and enjoying the game, they might be enticed to buy the full game/sequel. But for the love of FLOSS, no IAP or ads, I beg you
Edit 2: Of course take my answer with a bit of salt. I'm not in the industry myself, so I can't really speak about how bad a business model based on ads and IAP would be; I just personally can't bear it as a customer.
c_xong {l Wrote}:Not all IAP is equal; the really bad ones are pay2win and energy systems, then there are cosmetic extras and game mode unlocks. Some people still hate all IAP, but then again some people just want stuff for free!
