Seriously people, give me a break.

Also, Cydia isn't always the cause, so it concerns more of the Appstore applications. True, but the reports are anonymous.

That is just a slap in the face considering the game lacks the appropriate intricacies and graphics of a respectable application. If they want to pass it off as a port, then they should respect the pricing rather than pass it off as the next Asphalt 4. For their targets, the company is a medium for different video gaming ventures so their quartiles projections allow them the right not to price gauge the consumer. And yes, I lack the respect for a company that uses these tactics rather than the independent dev trying to get by who uses fair pricing such as the case with the Trism dev. Onto the demos. Now, the likelihood of it working is futile considering the amount of applications available, and as you stated if they have projection they must maintain then what will they achieve by giving a taste (which is suitable for most frugal buyers as well as the most rambunctious) of the application for free. We live in a society based around capitalism so the kindest efforts are ignored just to make that quick buck. EA. Also a symbiote to capitalism. Those who purchase the applications will use the preceding apps as a measure to their worth, so by lacking the effort will result in their decision not to purchase. It's all connected and the small amount of people who use cracked apps don't compare to the amount who go legit, so this detrimental effect hasn't even been seen. Just my two cents xD Ah Abcmsaj, this is going to get bloody ;)

Then the makers (Namco or whoever) will take it down to $5, then $2, then who knows? Instead, people crack, cut, copy, paste, drag and drop and get it illegally - Which means that now, Namco have to keep the price at $10 or higher to meet their expected targets by the end of the year. As for demos, I've written to 2 developers and gotten 2 demos placed on the App Store - maybe not all my doing... maybe they had a lot of requests - But point is, if you don't ask, you don't get. And if you steal, you don't get anything in the future. Think about that. You steal all of EA's apps and the stop making them because they get sick and tired of the effort they put in, and the lack of money coming out. Just my POV. If Frogger is $10 – Don’t buy it…
