Not every customer wants to deal with ads flashing in their face, and sitting all over the game screens, so Halfbrick offers a paid version of “Fruit Ninja”, and you are paying them a dollar for the privelage of not having ads all over the game, and that dollar makes up for their lack of revenue from in-app advertisements, sounds reasonable right, it’s the way things have worked on the Android Market since it started. You pay for the ad-free version of the game to not have to be bombarded with ads, there is no difference between the free version and the paid version, except one has ads but is free, and the other does not have ads, but you have to pay for that to happen.

So, that model has worked all over the Market forever, it’s worked with the free and paid versions of “Fruit Ninja” forever. But what’s that, unadulterated GREED has reared it’s ugly disgusting head again? Yes, yes it has. Instead of having morals and business ethics, and keeping the deal that they had with the hundreds of thousands of people, that Halfbrick took money from, so they could enjoy an ad-free experience, well Halfbrick in their corrupt and criminal wisdom, find it okay to go ahead and introduce the very thing that they were charging and took a massive amount of people’s money for, advertisements, and to add insult to injury they have the sheer nerve and gumption to think that all of the people who paid fir the ad-free version, are so completely stupid and oblivious that “Hey! Let’s double dip into the bowl, we will make some more money by introducing advertisements into the paid version as well as the ones we already have in the free version, but here’s the kicker, so our customers don’t complain, and because we all know how stupid and naive the average customer, and this is genius so bare with me, we will call the advertisements REWARDS!!! We will get paid from the companies for hosting their ads in the paid version, but since all of those Android users are such morons, we can just make it look like they are actually getting something in the game when they see the ads, and we will call it rewards! So instead of them knowing we are actually introducing ads into the version they paid us for not to have ads, well it will make them feel like they’ve accomplished something in the game, and haha I know it’s genius right, they just won’t understand that we’ve just put ads into the game because leading up to seeing the ad they will they think are accomplishing something! Now we can take that second trip to the beaches in Spain, and are stupid customers will be none the wiser! I expect a promotion for coming up with this genius idea sir!”

So yeah, that’s pretty much how it went down when Halfbrick brainstormed up this wonderful way to rip off hundreds of thousands of customers. Anybody who doesn’t understand what I’ve said as being the absolute truth, well you are either a moron or you get paid to plug Halfbrick titles, or you work for Halfbrick and are getting fat off of stealing from us oh-so-stupid Android users. So anyone who supports a company that steals from their customers like this, well there is something seriously wrong with you, or you have something to gain from it.
