Was having a discussion with someone today who makes Mobile games, they told me that80% of their customers never actually play the games they buy and download...
So I was just wondering, any of you guys actually bought games for your mobile and how many of you actually play them?
the last mobile game i purchased was prince of persia for my sharp gx10i. never again. Why ? They refused to transfer the game to my replacement mobile when the phone took a swim through the washing machine.
[its not my fault you suck]
I've got a few games on my phone, but I haven't bought any - they're free ones from the Android Market. A couple are ad-supported, though.
Weasel I am deeply sorry for your phones swim.
Maximinus, how does ad support work in games on android?
I am teh Intanetz
A few games use Admob or similar ads - basically you get a banner ad across the top or bottom of the screen, usually just on the menu or loading screen, not in the actual game (though one or two that don't quite fill the screen do still have an ad on the game screen). Admob have been a bit odd lately - the most common add by far simply says "FREE HOT BABE VIDEO! TAP HERE!" which is pretty awkward, especially if I want to share a Dilbert comic with somebody, as it keeps appearing in the comic-viewing app I use...
