If you fancy yourself an Android gamer, you've probably noticed the growing trend of “free” titles in the Android Market. More and more game publishers are switching over to the free-to-play or “freemium” business model and offering their games free of charge — but with a catch. Players soon learn that a game is sometimes unplayable without buying various in-game items via in-app purchases to progress. I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to freemium games in the Market. I think when executed correctly, a game can be enhanced by in-app purchase.
