So it's world wide. That's 3m free downloads of the supposedly biggest icon in gaming on a 1 billion unit install base.

Hooray?

What do you mean by free downloads?

you can download the game for free.  the free download is basically a demo but since this is mobile we remarket it as "free to start" and call it innovation.  to play the entire game you most pay $10.

there are no additional purchases for the game so that $10 is the only way for it to make money.  i don't think there are ads either,.. i could be wrong about that.
