I’ve been a fan of ngmoco since I played their first game for the iPhone. Great innovators, great polish, good stuff. You’re always guaranteed something well designed and thought out. ngmoco has also always charged a decent premium price for their games. I bought Rolando 2 for $10 and Star Defense for $6. I had no problem paying these prices in an AppStore full of $0.99 games because ngmoco’s polish was through the roof, and with the recent Plus+ integration, I was totally drinking the ngmoco koolaid. Now though, I fear we’ve lost these talented devs to something called greed. Not intent with charging for games traditionally, they’ve opted to release games for free and require you to pay-to-play. Now I’m no stranger to this formula, I’ve played MMOs and the like, but I wasn’t quite expecting it to be so dramatically greedy that it severely effected my willingness to play. - Jeff Scott
