‘No Ads’ doesn’t mean you won’t see ads – Power Hover: Cruise Review

I enjoy the gameplay in this. When I play a game I don’t want to be interrupted by advertising. If you want money from me, just ask. If I’ve had a chance to try the game and I like it (and ads are perfectly appropriate for that) I’ll happily cough up the cash. If you pay the $.99 to remove ads in this game (and many others), you don’t remove the ads. You remove SOME ads. Your game flow will continue to be interrupted by ads indirectly. You won’t SEE the ad unless you click the button to continue the round , but you DO have to wait while a timer expires. I’ll happily give up the option to continue a round to just — you know — play the game. Extending a round which seldom works anyway because you’re out of the flow because of the ad. That it’s held out as an inducement is more about the game playing you than you playing the game. $.99 isn’t enough to compensate the programming time? Fine. Charge more. I make stuff too. I like to be paid. I’m not against it. But remember: You’re not curing cancer here. There are literally millions of other choices. As much as I enjoy the gameplay in your games, I’m not going to be a lab rat. Enjoy the $.99. It’s the last you get. $2.99 and really removing ads would have assured you of a customer for life. That $.99 was an inexpensive lesson on who to avoid. And to uninstall. The world is annoying enough. I don’t need to pay money to be annoyed by ads. That’s why I play games. Why you write them is your business. For the record Apple shouldn’t allow this. But they will.
