It makes sense. They way it works right now is some games use said credits. Others use their own seperate form of currency. So one developer could be losing out because the player who may want to buy some virtual item has already invested $20 bucks in cafeworld for cafe bucks so they don't want to shell out another $20 to buy space bucks for space ville. So this way the player only has to buy the credits and then can use the credits to buy the space bucks and cafe bucks instead of having to invest in them seperately. 30% is a bit steep though. Although I do question how much does it cost to put up a game on FB in th first place. If there is no initial investment (besides the money invested in the actual development) than it is steep but not completely unwarranted.Celtic_Kerr said:
Some games will allow you to earn them. Play so many days in a row, stuff like that. And you get 5 just for signing up in facebook (I got 5 but I have no idea where they came from) or something. But if you want anything worthwhile you will be paying or playing til the end of time. And you use said credits/bucks to buy the cool stuff. Sure you can buy those pink jammies with the ingame currency (the free ones that you earn while playing which are different from the "bucks" or credits) but if you want the ninja outfit well that is going to cost you credits or bucks or whatever that game uses that costs real money.
For example Cafe World has Cafe bucks which you buy or earn 1 or 2 every once in a while. It uses coins for ingame currency. That is the money you earn for playing regularly and use to buy more stuff to sell to your customers and decorate your cafe. But all the best decorations cost bucks not coins. You can also use bucks to finish missions instead of begging for the items from other people and stuff like that. So if you are running out of time to say finish a catering order you can buy your way to victory instead.
Don't ask me how I know this. It is so very wrong that I do. So very, very wrong.
