Cart Cow HD from Gamesmold now Free to Play

gamesmold

Hi there,

just wanted to let you know that the latest update of my good old Cart Cow HD (iPad) is now Free to Play, along with several optimizations.

If you've missed out on it, get it now:
http://itunes.apple.com/app/CartCowHD/id417699643?mt=8

For the Free to Play approach: Those of you who already have an installation of the previous paid version, don't worry, you won't get any banners.
I've put quite some effort into this transition from paid to free, so I hope it works fine for both the new and the legacy players...



Cheers,
Thomas

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome... *hugs the sheep back*

Now, there's one thing...
This app should show banners, but I don't see a single one.
And though it was launched yesterday, I don't even see a single request in my iAd reports.

Does anybody see banners out there...?

OK, seems like it takes Apple more than 24 hours for a new iAd app to show some banners. So let's wait and see.

Wow, this is so weird, I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
Even the app description is exactly the same...

Ah yes, the scum of the app store!

Don't worry - Apple is removing any non-iOS7 compatible apps from the app store in February.

As long as @codewizard can find a way to block this guy's (at least) three accounts from publishing via GS, he won't be able to update anything and all the stolen/con games will hopefully disappear.

In the meantime, send Apple an email with evidence - they're pretty good at taking this sort of thing down. Same guy tried it with Air Supply: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/37740/air-supply-rip-off-and-others/p1

Yeah, you get ****s like this, like quantumsheep says email Apple, get them to take it down - the fact that he's left the word 'cow' in his description (even though the character has been changed to a sheep) underlines your point that he's just stolen the whole thing.

I wonder how things stand with regard to any income generated ? If Apple have been taking their percentage cut then - in theory - they are profiting from a criminal act ?
