People estimate 2/3 for free to play vs 1/3 for premium content.. http://blog.flurry.com/bid/65656/Free-to-play-Revenue-Overtakes-Premium-Revenue-in-the-App-Store |
I have a iPad and this saddens me.
This means in the future expects grinding games with something reminding you how easy it would be to pay $1.
If it was premium content than gaming future is still great but free-to-play means a sad future for games.
Puzzle and Dragons bought in billions because the model works. Developers see it and see were the market is going and do the same because it works. Square is already noticing that they can make more money on free-to-play than pay front. Think All-bravest is bad? Wait till All-bravest free-to-play version. Some people may argue that "not all free-to-play has to grind and force pay almost." Which is true. But the ones making the big money are doing that and others want to make as much money as possible.
