Your logic is just plain OFF here. Did you read the part that most people liked the games after PAYING FOR THEM?
I don;t think free = good, i didn't like many appvent games, but i didn't go around saying they where crap.
Do yourself a favor, open up iTunes, go to the app store and search for iRespect, you're in desperate need of some. We're not saying that free = good, we're saying that free = no right to complain. When you pay $10 for a game you can't stand, then maybe we'll be a little sympathetic. This is the worst troll attempt I've seen since ipod touch guy found the cannabis topic.
Just because you didn't like the puzzle and number games that went free does not give you the right to say that they suck. Personally, I didn't care for Samurai... but I'm not bashing the game because it was the free game offered that day and not something I would have enjoyed more. Beggars can't be choosers, you should just be grateful that this promotion was availible at all. It was extremely generous of the devs who were involved with this to give their games away.
This is pointless, you guys are just mindlessly defending these apps, and im supposed to just not say any dissenting opinion? Just saying the appvent was a huge letdown, its like one day its chocolate (Samurai) and the rest are broccoli pieces, and I cant say anything because theyre free and because someone is starving in CHina.. LOL
i replied in bold, this is pointless though I dont love Anime, just made a thread about it because most anime sux IMO
There's nothing wrong with you not liking the apps that have gone free, but what are you expecting by shouting that they all suck?
I dunno I thought people would agree, I didnt realize everyone was obsessed with Puzzle games and other little flash adventure games.. reading this board most people dont talk about them anyway
See you are missing the point completely. People appreciated the gesture. People appreciated that many devs made their apps free for the day. Every single day I bet there were just as many people that went to look and said - aw I have that one already, or aw, I don't like that one; as people that said - wow awesome game.
I wouldn't say they all suck ,but I must admit the only one I didn't delete after downloading is iBlast Moki which I had already paid for in the past.
Most of the games featured on the appvent promotion were talked about as much as any other game. These devs are trying to share a little festive spirit, losing money in the process so that we can have a fun Christmas promotion, and what do they get in return? Some troll posting about how much their games suck. No one said you had to like the games, but reacting in this way is just plain arrogance.
So what's the point in this thread? Complaining about free stuff just makes you an ass... If you want better appvent then create your own. Go contact some big name devs and convince them it's for a better cause. If you can do that, we'd all be happy...
okay so these devs lose hundreds of dollars to give you a free game, which you then bitch about and say they are bad. Lets use an example. Go buy me a blue $100 itunes gift card. I will then take the gift card and then bitch about it not being red.
maybe I should have worded it like this... the games arent bad, but when I delete them, they get a rating of: SUX
I just don't think you really should be complaining, after all you haven't lost anything, you just got 20+ games without paying a cent. and what MidianGTX said
