Ads are ads. Own games or random doesn't matter. It makes the game feel cheap and crappy, no matter what it is. Which games are we talking about?
It is annoying, and no they don't give you one. I've had multiple, and it's annoying when I own and have the installed games they are advertising. There is no reason to have a badge notification for something I already own. Give me the option of turning it off and link the purchased apps somehow to know this.
It's not really ads, just a little news section to let customers know that they have released a new game. It pops up once then never again.
Well, notification that comes out once when there are news of a new game ONLY is still wrong. Project 72 started that way, now the ad comes up every time you open the app or go back to the menu. There is "More Games" button. Those who are interested can tap on it. There should be no advertising in paid apps whatsoever.
I'm not referring to the "News" section, I am talking about badge notifications. I put all my halfbrick apps in the same folder now, so hopefully they mingle and work this sh** out. And yes it is an ad when it prompts me to check a folder that has a badge just to find out it was Halfbrick again. Which is fine, I don't care if they advertise their other titles, even with badge notifications, but give me the option of turning it off in settings. They worked around the API to not give me that option, but still ping me with badges.
Which is my point, advertise till you're blue in the face, but if I pay for your apps and own your entire catalog, there is no reason to push badges to me. Or at least unlock the notification setting so that I can turn it off.
If everyone had this mentality tivo, satellite radio, media torrents without commercials wouldn't exist. It's more than just a click, it's a pervasive attempt to attract my attention to a product.
Cilo I think lots of people will agree with me when i say stop whining about it. IT is NOT a Add it is telling all of there loyal fans that they have released a new game. This saves the fans having to go and find it them self. I dont know about you but i dont mind this. If you dont like it then why dont you just click it and then its gone, gees it only takes 10 seconds of your life to do.
Loyal fans and "just" fans can tap on "more games" button, if they are interested. Ads don't have to be and shouldn't be featured as a pop up or badge/push notification. It's intrusive and annoying. Especially in a paid app.
I like the idea and i think if you and Cilo dont like it then maybe you shouldnt play the game. In all seriousness if you are not willing to waste ten seconds of you lifes to click the damn button then you should not be playing the game. Oh also anyone else got all 4 Halfbrick Games
i agree, news with these badges are really f annoying. but funboys will surely defend devs, nothing new.
the notifications didn't bother me at all. Took all of about 1.8 seconds to click the news button and then the X to clear the notification. Did it three times - once for each game - so in total it ate up about 5 seconds of my valuable time. I've got lots of things going on in my life that are infinitely more annoying than that. Don't know how some of you guys manage to make it through a day if you find something like this "really f***ing annoying." I guess that makes me a "funboy."
yep, if you don't care about that stuff but still post a novel in defense of devs - that makes you funboy.
Wow, if you thought that was a novel, you are borderline illiterate. Typing out that post must have taken you much longer than disabling notifications would have.
the funny thing is that ur wasting more time of your life complaining about it than just clicking out of a pop up.
