On: Google will stop calling games 'free' when they offer in-app purchases

[pjungwir]

From a user perspective this seems very nice.

It might be nice for developers too if it starts to train people to expect to pay more than $0-2 for a game.

I wonder if part of Google's reason is to push people toward advertising instead?

[dyarosla → pjungwir]

Either that, or push the customer base of Google to pay for quality applications. Sadly, with lack of curation, I would guess customers would be skeptical of spending money on a non-free game for fear of a poor purchase (crashes, not working, etc)
