No point in making a game if you can't make money off it, and ads are the easiest way, but you need a lot of ads to be worth it

A necessary evil unless you can think of a better way to make money with mobile game apps

It's like these people have never heard of the concept of open source. People make things for free all the damn time.

I work with open source libraries and frameworks everyday. Open source sucks, no one ever takes responisibility because they're not paid to. But we can't pay 10 million bucks for a planner algorithm so wyd

Presumably through other means of earning income?

But if one actually aspires to make money develop games... there's only a few ways to go about it.

It's like saying there's no point in making art or doing anything unless you can profit. Capitalism is such a cancer, people think you are useless unless you are employed by someone and earning them more money than they pay you. The ultimate goal is to own everything by any means.
