Paid games aren't dead, just count our downloads, argues Crescent Moon's Josh Presseisen
While free to play games such as the surprise hit Temple Run have proven freemium has value for some developers, Crescent Moon CEO Josh Presseisen argues that it's by no means becoming the only way.
"Free-to-play games are constantly competing amongst themselves for audience," Presseisen said.
"You have to update constantly, and actively focus on marketing, cross-promotion, and in-app events and sales.
"When it comes to paid games, if you have high quality content, the audience is happy it's getting the complete experience and won't be asked to pay more."

"I am not proud to admit that I was very, very good at building that contract; I am proud that I deleted it and quit my job the next day."

Complexity of Clonegate underlined as Temple Jump pulled from App Store but Tiny Tower-inspired Pixel Story remains
Topping off our trio of popular stories looking at the ethical grey area of cloning was news that Temple Run wannabe Temple Jump had been removed from the App Store.
It was joined on the digital scrapheap by other ambiguously titled games such as Plants vs Zombie, Angry Ninja Birds, and Sexual Offenders HD, all from cheeky developer Anton Sinelnikov.
In contrast, a number of supposed clones remained untouched, with supposed Tiny Tower clone Pixel Story one of the few to slip through the net.
