I'm not sad cause I just got it, because frankly I got it a couple of months ago already, but sad, because this falls into the category of 'games that should never go free'... CygnetSeven Well-Known Member Feb 6, 2010 7,580 27 48 #18 CygnetSeven, Jul 8, 2012 Many games I've felt that way about. The way I look at it I still got what I paid for, but I hate to see a great game/developer scrambling for attention. Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #19 Drummerboycroy, Jul 8, 2012 And let's all bear in mind that "scrambling for attention" is just that, a developer trying to get more publicity for a game that is actually worth the asking price by putting it on (hopefully temporary) sale... It's (hopefully) only a sale, not nearly the same as going FTP and breaking the game for paying customers... The game is clearly worth what they're asking for it at full price, and if a sale means they get to keep doing what they're doing, that works for me. Just sayin' DBC Snake Eater Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2011 223 0 0 #20 Snake Eater, Jul 8, 2012 the iOS market is brutal, and if you're not on the front page or the gaming front game of the app store you essential have zero visibility to customers, the sales of this game must have fallen off a cliff the last couple weeks.
