Jelly Defense developer, Infinite Dreams, has just updated their Angry Birds/Tiny Wings mesh - Shoot The Birds, with "Small Improvements" and adding "A huge THANK YOU to all you Shoot the Birds fans for great support. You are the best! Your 5-star iTunes ratings and reviews keep us motivated to provide you new content with future updates! Thank you for playing Shoot The Birds."
Come to find out, those "Small Improvements" were the addition of iAds, and price drop from $1.99 to free, making previous customers who have paid for the game kind of think, "if you're going to say thank you with iAds, next time, keep it to yourself." This is happening more and more with games that do not live up to "early sales quotas" or don't do as well as developers thought they would. But with a development company like Infinite Dreams having more than a few games available in the AppStore, each of which having more than just a few iTunes reviews, as well as reviews from all over the net, it's hard to believe that they really need to pull something like this to earn that 2 cents for every accidental click on an ad. I guess the question you should be asking yourselves is; "if a development company says 'thank you' to their supportive customers by throwing ads into a game those customers have paid for, is this really a development company you want to support in the future?"
**Note** Infinite Dreams responded. saying "It's free, what do you expect?"
