MasonicGamer.com - You must have read the news – Madfinger Games’ new zombie FPS, Dead Trigger, has gone free-to-play on Android. This may come as good news to some, but once the developers declared their reasoning behind the price cut, things became a little more worrying. As it turns out, the game has suffered massive piracy, and the solution Madfinger settled on was to eliminate the initial cost (which angered those who’d already shelled out their money) and offer premium in-game purchases.
This model is often referred to as “freemium”, and is seen across many games on various platforms. Although it’s not necessary to buy the special weapons and items, one can’t help but feel that they’re not getting the full experience without additional spending. This is especially frustrating for those who paid up-front for the title.
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Love and Deepspace aims to replicate real-life romantic tropes where players engage in a romantic journey, plus with an RPG combat elements.

Who cares.
You don't buy phones,tablets for gaming.
You buy either a decent pc,vita,3ds,console for your gaming needs.
DONE.
Don't do initial purchase AND in-app-purchases for one game.
Google has to take care of sideloading.
Also make better games. Madfinger makes mobile games with amazing visuals but basic and repetitive gameplay.
There's a reason it went "free to play". It's simply the best model with rampant piracy these days. Not only on android but pc as well.
Don't complain about it, just accept change and take my micro transaction money and shut up.
I also agree about the above comment. You DON'T buy a phone for gaming, you buy a phone because you need a phone. That said we are starting to rock powerful technology in these things. The fact that my skinny phone has a 1.3ghz duo core cpu with effective battery life amazes me.
Nvidia's terga(mobile gpu series) 4 is right around the corner too. This gpu will have MORE processing power than a ps3 or a 360.
So while you don't buy a android for gaming, you would be a ignorant gamer if you wanted powerful tech sitting in your hand to be overlooked for your favorite hobby.
