    Currently downloading the US App Store version. I ended up deleting the NZ store version last week (was it really last week...seems so long ago...). There is something stored in iCloud, maybe it will restore from that... maybe it won't... I wasn't that far along in the game so I am fine with restarting if I have to.

    The question is though, while they appear to have at least moderated the wait timers on servicing (that's what stopped me cold last week), have they fixed the nagging notifications about friends beating your times? I like the notifications that tell me my car is ready, but I hate those incessant "beaten time" notifications... I was often get 20 a day before I turned off notifications for this game.

  12. It looks like Eli decided to review RR3 after all. 4/5 stars.

    Would've easily been 5/5 if it wasn't for the horrifyingly irritating (yet necessary for repairs) push notifications. That's a top pet peeve of mine.

    Try searching for something like Simpsons Tapped Out or FIFA 13. Tap on the Developer Info for Electronic Arts, then See All. Real Racing 3 should be at the bottom of that list of apps from Electronic Arts.

    Do you really think F2P like this is the future of the Appstore?

    Honest question here.
     
  16. Just going through the invitations here

    Dead Trigger Defense Squad: I can't. I'm the 'Camp Leader Of The Dead Trigger Flame War Refugee Camp'. It's based over by those rocks on the side of the Dead Trigger battlefield. We have lots of marshmallows, but we are guarded by cats who will instantly stop you in your track with their cuteness, then you will be killed by our Snipers. Just a word of caution if you decide to attack us and take our marshmallows

    HDMI Loverz Group: Don't have a HD TV, nor an Apple TV, nor an HDMI cable.

    Real Racing 3 Loserz Club: I'd like to enter that group please. I'm not as horrendous as you, but I am still horrendous.

    Probably. You can't really argue with the ridiculous discrepancy between the money free to play is making now versus even the best selling "premium" games.

    Is there a place where I can see approximately how much an app grossed? I'd love to see some numbers for, say, some ports like Bastion, GTA and The Walking Dead, then exclusives like The Room, Ravensword 2, etc. Surely those games made decent money.

    You kind of just need to see where things are on the top grossing charts and make educated guesses based on games from companies who release sales figures. Typically, it's easy to make lowball estimates which are generally fairly ridiculous in their own rights. For instance, Temple Run 2 announced it was downloaded 50m times. Free to play games that monetize poorly typically only have 5% of the people ever buying IAP items. 5% of 50m even if all people ever buy is the 99¢ pack (which they don't, most people spend way more than that because of the low perceived "value" of spending 99¢ for 100 coins versus $2.99 or more for 500 coins) you're looking at $2,500,000.

    Comparatively, Hundreds, an incredibly good buy once play forever game that sold for $2.99 were ecstatic to announce they sold 100,000 units.

    Free to play vs paid isn't even in the same ballpark. Hell, it's barely even the same proverbial sport, monetarily.
