Giant Bomb Presents: How to Do In-App Purchases Without Pissing Everyone Off

I'm Interview Dumbstruck.

All aboard the dumptruck!

Whoa, I literally JUST downloaded this game. Weird. I haven't even tried it yet.

First GDC thing I listen to and I've already been told I'm a morally bad person. Awesome.

But interview dumps strait from GDC is awesome Patrick!

Although I really enjoy the long format of the bombcast, I really enjoy these quick little interviews.

Got the ShellRazer demo and felt just fine with running into the guy in the road.

This format is way cool. Keep it up Scoops!

The funny thing is Relic is quite notorious for being terrible at balancing their games. Company of Heroes included.

I just started playing Solitaire Blitz, and wrote a blog about an offensive purchase choice I had to make in the game; I'm glad to hear that developers are considering the affect purchases have on gameplay beyond maximizing turnover.

I would love to read some of that information he mentioned that instructs new ios developers on how to create tricks and traps for creating accidental purchases, and how to create misleading UI. I bet it's fascinating. You reckon you could dig it up Scoops?

Company of Heroes: Online had an interesting microtransaction model, but since I only have Android devices I guess I will never play this.

Don't ever change the name of the Interview DumpTruck.
