FunInfusedGames said:I have two versions of Hypership (paid at $1.99 and free). Sales and downloads of the paid version are awful. It probably wasn't worth the effort of making a paid version.
The free version gets more than 100 times the downloads the paid one gets. I get a solid $30 to $40 a month off of the ad revenue. Not much either, but far better than the paid version and given that it took me a month to do the port, it's not terrible.
What I really like about the WP7 version is that it has real online high scores, not the peer to peer stuff I had to do on XBLIG. http://www.funinfused.com/highScores...1&categoryID=1 Peer to peer worked at first but now that the total gamers playing Hypership has dwindled, it's mostly useless. Many more people play the WP7 version daily (which I know because I can see their scores).
Interesting, thanks. It makes you wonder why MS haven't implemented a proper online leaderboard system for XBLIG if they can do one for their telephone. Many, many games would benefit.
