@DrestinBlack:

I would have quoted you directly, but no need to make an already lengthy thread lengthier. I commend you... You've officially dethroned me. I thought I talked alot.

Anyways, during your lengthy diatribe, (which was somewhat well-written, kudos) you made numerous references to numerous "facts" but failed to provide any sources for the info. That's fine, I do it all the time. You make some great points and reinforce what many have already pointed out. Nothing wrong with reiteration...

But, I do have an issue with this: "Truly, EA's income is derived from the 70% of IAPs they get (30% goes to the store hosts; Google or Apple). The game is free to download and free to play (I didn't say win). Once it's downloaded, they don't get hardly any income - unless someone makes an IAP."

That is literally one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen on this wiki. I would be more likely to believe in Hulk's Moon landing hoaxes than this gibberish that was obviously fabricated on the spot.

Prove what you just said within the quotes, because I know it's BS. I don't know the numbers on Apple, and don't care, but 30% to Google for the hosting? Not even remotely, fractionally close. The BASE rate for most hosting is less than 5%. I know this because many of my apps are hosted within the Google Play store. The hosting and percentages are publicly available. (Any Cyanogen fans here? You're welcome.)

The simple truth is: RR3 makes EA money. Alot. It's no accident that prices are increasing. Supply and demand. And many poor schmucks will pay it.
