I play a f2p game that I enjoy.

I get some disposable income.

I throw some cash the games way to purchase some doodad or other that I have been wanting since the last time I had disposable income.


The cycle repeats. I didnt just throw $40-60 at the game one time, I throw $5-10 a month for years. It's not the big numbers you can point to and say we did good as a publisher but its a steady stream of revenue that gets repeated over and over by many more people than you would have had just selling the game one time (twice if you make gamestop pay you for resale).]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120718/03354519741/what-would-you-like-to-hear-techdirt-podcast.shtml#c850 Fri, 3 Aug 2012 08:32:39 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120718/03354519741/what-would-you-like-to-hear-techdirt-podcast.shtml#c850
