As long as there's an option to remove them, I look at ad-supported games as a demo. I'll always gladly pay to remove the ads if I like the game enough to play

As long as there's an option to remove them, I look at ad-supported games as a demo. I'll always gladly pay to remove the ads if I like the game enough to play it more than a couple times.
- speedgoose 7y agoThe ad-supported version can be a disaster for your privacy though.
- nikkwong 7y agoPlus, a lot of apps don't remove their ad SDK even if you do pay to not "see" the ads, so you are still being tracked either way.
- jotm 7y agoCan be, but it's possible to serve ads without any activity/data tracking. Not as profitable, but that's how it used to be done - simply guessing what the users may be interested in and A/B testing ads for various niches until you hone in on the most profitable ones. Ads are pretty cancerous, but the easiest way to start monetizing free content/software.
