I find the incessant app (various) updates on Android very annoying . I think some of the reasons given are just PR spin to update the AD revenue generation  for that AP.
I don't know the details of the CC transfer, but I am not sure change to 'subscription' was considered. |
From a developer point of view, a subscriber model is the only way to make money, especially for a product that doesn't have a big customer base. A $1 a month per customer can pay the bills, even if you only have a customer base of 10 or 20 thousand. A one time $5 purchase on the other hand, won't go very far unless you have a fair number of new customer every month. The other way is ads, but CC doesn't really lend itself to the ad model like games can.
