Asphalt 8 not free

[Nokia Boy]

This is something that totally made me mad.On both Android and iOS ASP8 is FREE but on WP8 it's 99 cent? WHY?

WP8 (<3) Asphalt 8: Airborne | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
My theory: Like the other Mobile OS,the game will be paid for a few weeks or months and then it will be free,but why? Because our lovely Devs give much time and money to make games and you gotta expect that either it will have ads or it will be paid.But in this case it will be just paid for a short time and then if we're lucky enough it will be free!

It was paid on android. .I brought it. Now I brought it on windows store also. Iam sure paying 99 cents wont make a difference to u. But people who develop it means business. If they get good sale from windows store they will develop more for windows phone. Hope u get my point.

Well 99cent aren't much for such good game,it's just that i can't buy it cuz i don't have credit card,but hey i still can enjoy the free trial!

It's way better than the ASP7... Maybe that's why it cost 99 cent for the full version

But isn't it a freemium game? I bought asphalt 7 heat for $1 and I would have to spend a lot of time to get to the higher levels. Or alternatively u would have to spend money on things that don't exist. Long story short the reason why its $1 is because its MS. And the way of MS is nickel & dime, nickel & dime.

I don't know what kind of jacked-up way you were playing, but I beat and got all of the Achievements on Asphalt 7 without spending anything after the initial $1. That's the part I'm annoyed by more--I paid $1 for the predecessor WITH Xbox integration, so paying the same price for the successor without a major feature sucks.

Well I refuse to " share " and advertise this game on my Facebook account to get more money / stars or whatever they offered you as a reward. I know its irritating for other people to receive alerts that one of their friends acquired 10 levels in a day. I know I could log out of my normal Facebook account and make a new specifically for this kind of bs but that's too much hassle for just a game.

Not sure what effect that has on the gameplay, but I manage to get by in Tetris Blitz! without doing it, despite the offer of 70,000 coins (1,000 is a good amount to get in a single game).

Not exactly on the game play but when you level up you would get twice the rewards. Otherwise the entire game is grind.
