Thoughts On The Podcast
I agree with what the guest from Macworld said about the fact that people will take advantage if the in app purchase to do things like charge you for buying weapons for multipleayer games or adding more levels for the game instead of having those features built in from the start. But I think that this provides an incentive for developers of apps like super monkey ball, brothers in arms, hero of Sparta, or even Fieldrunners an incentive to add levels/new weapons/new vehicles to their apps. Personally though, I wouldn't mind buying SPMB for half price and then, if I really like it, pay the other half to get the rest of the levels. That is, as long as I get half price worth of the game, not some cheap demo.
