For context Nova Prime has over 5+ million paying users, and it’s $6 when I check the Play Store.
The dev was just a single guy, who later hired someone to help with support and artwork. But if $30 million in revenue wasn’t good enough, I’m not sure what else you could expect.
while still a lot of money, keep in mind, a decent amount of those downloads was bought on sale. in my own personal context, i only had bought it when it was 1$
For sure, fair point. But we’re still talking millions, and far more than the guy was making at his previous, full-time job. In an interview, he said all he needed was $100 / day in sales to quit his full-time job… obviously, he exceeded that. LOL
It pisses me off that apps I’ve paid for become tainted like this.
To be fair, i paid like $3, 10 years ago… So, not a great revenue stream for the developer
Obviously selling to an ad company is not good, but i’m not sure what the alternative is in a world where everyone expects everything for free

hence why i mentioned it was still a lot of money just liekly not on that magnitude given both price cut sales and googles 30% cut of sales.
at bare minimum, the dev has at least made 5 million probably post taxes for sure.
Yeah, I bought it for 10ct
Had no idea about the user base numbers. I withdraw my objections lol
