    Is there a chance that there will be 49 or 50 cent games...because To be honest some games aren't worth .99 cents

    True, some aren't even worth downloading for free... but I doubt it'll happen. Anything that would be .49 is either free or .99.

    Hell no, most devs don't even make any money with the current system. If anything, they need to raise the minimum price to $2.99 or so and remove the incentive to make 99c apps altogether.

    $2.99 is too much for a minimum. 99c is perfectr if the dev cant make any money then move the price up to $1.99.

    I can see it now...

    intead of people complaining that 4.99 games are too expensive and they'll wait for the .99 price drop, they'll be complaining that they want Madden 10 for .49 :rolleyes:

    Hopefully not. If it's going to be that low quality they might as well make it free and put adds on it.

    1 cent apps: 0.3 cents go to apple, 0.7 to the developer :D

    You just have to get to know the girls well enough;)

    Honestly though, I actually like when I see a developer put a game out for $9.99. It shows that they are not undervaluing their game. You can barely get a candy bar for $.99 these days, a game that I'll play for a few hours a week is worth much more than that.

    As long as the game is better than a mcdouble I'd say it's worth a dollar

    Well I tried to argue that the coffee didn't cost them what I was paying for it, and without a free version to try before I bought it I couldn't even be sure I liked it. I mean all coffee is made of is hot water run through some beans, it should be free.

    But I reluctantly bought it anyway and ended up getting burnt because it wasn't as good as I was expecting.
