to be honest, I really hate the retina screen of Ipad

are you serious? I since I bought an iPad3 I can't look at non-retina games anymore without getting eye-cancer

It's nothing new for me. When I play PC games I expect them to support my monitor resolution and if they don't, I expect the option of windowed mode. If I buy a Blu-ray I expect high definition with 1080 horizontal lines. If I buy a painting, I expect it to fit the frame. It's really got less to do with the graphics themselves and more to do with presenting them properly. Blurriness is horrible and generally isn't how the product was designed to be viewed.

The difference is you're not paying just $0.99 for any of that other stuff. People expect a lot in the iOS world relative to how much they spend. You can't expect a dev to go back and update an app for retina when they are losing money on it.

I agree, for many of my 99c games i'm not expecting updates forever to support the latest devices. I hope to get my new ipod touch today and i'm sure there'll be a few issues with some old apps i might have which will never get updated. Shame but i cant expect a dev to re-do some old app which is losing money anyway as you say.

With a 30-40 dollar PC/console game i would expect a lot of fixes, for some tiny 69p game which might be now free i'm not expecting miracles with amends.

it feels so good that chop chop caveman got update a few days ago.
the developer is generous, the game only has 20k user in game center.
it's such a good and innovative game which only be priced 1 dollar. it has a so tiny sales volume but they still update the game.
