Why, thank you, EA.

I like Electronic Arts. Even though I only have one of their major games, Real Racing 3. It's a really nice game. My question for this blog post - my first one - why would EA make Real Racing 3 free? I started wondering this when I took a closer look at the graphics. I mean making graphics this nice - like those in the game - for a mobile device probably isn't easy. I stress the word "probably" in this sentence, because I wouldn't know. 




Back to the point. 

I know EA makes big bucks on all of their other titles, so they can move their earnings around to other games, but why would they make this game free? They could have made this game $1.99, or $.99 on top of in-app purchases and they would have been making loads of dough. But instead they made it free with in-app purchases. I'm not ungrateful that it is free, oh no! But for those people who only buy free games and don't spend any money on in-app purchases, they are losing money.

Meh, I don't know. I just figured this would be an appropriate subject for a blog post so random like I'd like mine to be. Thanks for reading this little post, I shall be posting more hopefully soon.
