The commentator ignored the fact these are paying subscribers and focused on the total number instead. I think this argument is flawed if profits are ignored. On the other hand freeware appeal usually topples payware if it delivers similar service. |

The conference is specific to marketing free games such as Gaia, Puzzle Pirates, Fiesta and MapleStory. Check out the link above to read more.
