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

    #1 It's based on a garbage game for the Xbox and PS3.
    #2 Price complaints are completely legitimate, especially in a competitive market.
    #3 Who are you to tell people to stop complaining about the price? I'm complaining about you complaining about the price. :p

    Price point is a legitimate issue in any review of a product - is it worth the money or not. Why on earth would anyone imagine otherwise?!

    two worlds II for iphone should be something like Ravensword, or at least like Assassin´s creed from Gameloft. But castle defence? no way, you lazy developers...

    I don't see any point in complaining about the price--devs have the right to ask whatever price they want to for their wares.

    That being said, I think it's equally important to have a good price-to-value ratio. The fact is that there are a TON of awesome tower defense games for far less than 11.99.

    Unless you feel some mystical connection with this game, I can hardly see how this is worthwhile.

    So we're not complaining about the price, merely stating that it's more than what the app is worth ;)

    Actually, smart move on their part. Having a ridiculous price draws attention and makes it stand out. More responses, more views.

    and more people that write it off/forget about it and move on to other apps...

    i won't speak for others, but personally, i run across a lot of games that i like/want, but put on my wait and see list due to price, then the price either changes and i pick it up, or at that time i look at the reviews and say 'forget it', or if the price never changes i just delete it from the list.

    don't underestimate the power of the impulse buy, its a fleeting thing in most cases.

    The price just comes off as self-indulgent.

    You never learn, no? I'd call that selfcongratulatory.

    I just were looking at both Two Worlds II CD threads - again, a huge pile of shitty postings. Senseless, meaningless, wrong.

    But o.k., you've made it. I'm fed up finally.

    Do whatever you want. Hurt the AppStore and the developers with your ridiculous low price demands. Go crazy over a few bucks. I can't stand to read more idiocy like this.

    To all the cool and reasonable folks: bye, farewell, hope to see you again, maybe. Admins and mods: keep up the good work and thanks for your hospitality.

    Oh, and don't forget, fellow TOFFTers: you do this mostly for cheapskates. Just don't expect a "thank you" from them.

    I'm outta here.

    Tiki, maybe its the caviar of TD games. You know, the be all end all of TD games ever made. Maybe its the lamborghini of TD games. In that case it really is worth the 12 bucks.
