I wish you the best of luck on your game, I still believe there's plenty of people like us who feel this way as well.
I look at Limbo, Braid or Meat Boy, and they get it. They are great games with no BS.
I don't mind iap for other type of apps, in fact, it's a cool thing, you select only the features you need and you upgrade accordingly. But on games, it's crap, and it must go away.
Thanks for the kind wishes, and yeah it's something I feel pretty strongly about.
There are obvious problems going this way (how do you get people past the hurdle of paying for a game they haven't played?) but it just feels... better.
It also seems like a better way to build trust between the developer and the player. The way I see it is if you've taken the risk and bought my game, I love you! We're best friends now! So here's the best damn game I can give you for trusting me enough to pay for it.
And then hopefully they'll come back for the sequel.
