We're mad as hell about iOS games that cost money, have ads, and/or any IAP at all.

    This. If you can't afford a game, keep it yourself, because seriously, no one on TA cares.

    Actually, it's a valid point of feedback developers should hear. If a lot of people are unhappy with the price, they would want to know that so they realize that if it comes down they might get a LOT more sales.

    The anti-price whining is worse.

    At least it's EA so it'll drop in price eventually.

    Everyone is different, so the people that think every game should be 99c on iOS will obviously complain about a $5 price tag.

    Stop trying to rationalize being cheap. No one cares. Either buy it or don't.

    This is why consoles have the standard $60 price-tag. No one f**king complains about something that doesn't have anything to do with the game itself.

    They should have done a launch date sale!
    Guess I'll wait for a price drop

    Wow. Just read a bunch of this thread. Pretty broad discussion. Anyhow, Canabalt was just $.99 . I bought it for $2.99 personally and never felt "ripped off". I'm not here to demean anyone else for their opinions. The way I see it though, any game worth playing is a steal at $3. And you get to help an independent developer continue to make games for you to enjoy. If you don't have the cash to shell that out, that's cool, and wait for a sale or whatever. Don't try and say that a game you like is only worth a buck because another game you like is a buck though.

    Don't be so hard on yourself - you did manage to imagine it in the end.

    £2.99 or even £3.99 would have sat ok with me but not this price. I have already paid £1.99 to play on my iPhone. Now they want this price so I can play it on my iPad?
