Yeah, but look at the apps of 2016. The apps that are the most popular are the apps that people don't need to pay anything for. Although the timers as a concept just seems wrong for the game series we cherish, games like Galaxy on Fire 2 today wouldn't have survived had they kept it and later games premium. They wouldn't get featured or upheld very much for very long.

Sure, you can take games from the top charts to argue, but look at them. Do you think Galaxy on Fire would fit in anywhere with that general category of paid games? In my opinion, it really doesn't. And with games like No Man's Sky coming around, even if it is just for the PCs and full of things that aren't what the developers said would be in them, a paid game for that size means that FISHLABS needs to step ip their own to make theirs premium.

TL;DR The bar for Premium Games has risen on PC and lowered on iOS, and Galaxy on Fire 3 - Manticore falls into the middle.
