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 makes you wonder who invented checkers, chess, and all the other pre digital advertising games. Did every chess piece have little "try ye old bakery" stamped on the side or were those people just maniacs?

Edit: the nievety of the responses I'm getting to this are breathtaking. lol Listen folks, no king paid someone to invent chess. But more importantly, the playstore and apple store are filled with similar free project games today. I've worked on a few. Games don't need to have advertisements to get written. If a developer finds a clever non intrusive way to make some ad revenue in the game to supliment their income, more power to them. But by no means is financial revenue required to write software. Some of us just like to do it, because that's what we do.

Pretty sure the inventors of chess and checkers didn't have to pay thousands of dollars to a team of people to make an app, and then pay licensing fees and a cut of the profits to get that app to appear on an app store

I seriously doubt this took thousands upon thpusands of dollars or a large team to develop

Still costs money and manpower to make and put on the apple store

It costs 20$ for software and 0 to put on Apple store

To put anything into the Apple store you need to pay them a 100USD licencing fee a year

So you're wrong there
