Well in his defense, he didn't say it would make a better game (at least not in this thread).
I'd love to see this feature, but it's really only useful in monetizing an already superb game. Like the iAd release, I think any younger members who haven't seen success yet will be disappointed if they are expecting IAP to deliver it.

what this does is make us more money thus gives gamesalad more members.
If you're expecting people to make an IAP for a character skin, I think you should definitely rethink your approach. If you can't make a couple of thousand dollars off of a stand alone game, IAP should be the farthest thing from your mind.
Lol The only thing I could see IAP good for is releasing a free game, and using IAP to purchase new features to make the game better. But you definitely don't NEED it to make a good game. Honestly, when I am browsing through the App Store and I tap on an app and see "Top In App Purchases", I skip it and go onto the next one because 9/10 times it means you don't get the full app. You just get some crappy demo and you gotta pay for every little thing. I realize their are apps out their that don't do this, but like almost every good thing on the App Store, a few idiots can ruin it for all of us.
No you guys don't NEED it. Just calm down and wait for the summer release. No point in rushing them, if you do then it will probably be real buggy and then you'll be complaining about that.
I will use IAP for my game, there will only be a button when you download it(the game is free), and it will say"play the game for 0.99" or something like that

Exactly Eastbound, he did not said anything about making better games. To bad I was not here 16 hours ago... We could have started something really nice.
you are right Jon but then do something or have a chef that can put an end to this kind of harrasment. This person cant say anything without being attacked in some kind of way by tendremer. Chefs you need to have an eye on your Sous Chef...
OMG!!!! ....I can't believe how 37% say we DON'T need in-app purchasing yet!
Are you guys insane???
We needed IAP about 6 months ago.. Its far more important than even HTML5. Its no wonder hardly anyone using GameSalad has made much money. Everybody's too busy trying to make the next Angry Birds or Tiny Wings and trying to sell it for a dollar and think thats it!
Look at the the charts data today. The top 10 Grossing USA Games are currently:
1 - Farmville - has in-app purchasing 2 - Angry Birds - has in-app purchasing 3 - Cars 2 - doesn't have in-app purchasing 4 - Top Girl - has in-app purchasing 5 - Texas Poker - has in-app purchasing 6 - Zynga Poker - has in-app purchasing 7 - Tap Zoo - has in-app purchasing 8 - Tiny Tower - has in-app purchasing 9 - We rule Deluxe - has in-app purchasing 10 - Fashion Story - has in-app purchasing
So 9/10 top 10 grossing games right now in the USA have in-app purchasing.
So even though Cars 2 at the moment is the best selling paid game on iTunes, its still not making more money than zynga's free game with in-app purchasing. Grossing means makes the most money. And don't get me started on game piracy, even Apple recently said IAP helps prevent piracy.
I'm not saying that IAP alone will make a good game, but THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION!! The question is do we need this feature as a developer (And make money) and the answer is YES! :-)

I disagree. Most of them apps would have done well without IAP.
When i buy an app i don't like to buy more things in the game. I like to buy the game, and only pay for one thing.

No disrespect, but what the Grossing Data above shows is that the Majority of iPhone users Do like to get the game for Free and then buy items in it...
I understand you don't like it, but the majority of people with an iphone do according to the data.
I simply want IAP in Game Salad to give us creators parity with the other ways of making games. GameSalad is a tool, not a gatekeeper. (not saying they are a gatekeeper, just that some of the above replies are implying it should be) Some of you don't want to use iap, some do. GS should (and will) give us the option soon, Pro version or not.

lmao go make a game and stop complaining, ya little girl
Hey Johnpapiomitis, you are so predictable.. I knew you were going to come running to try to get involve in the matter. I just tought you were going to say something intelligent... Yes I forgot your condition... Sorry

ahhhh yes, my condition of making games and helping people ALL day. LOL
see your the one whos predictable, theres tons of people on the forum like you. You make no games, never help ANYONE on the forum, but complain about the stupids little things, like what tendrmer does is gonna make you cry at night.
No point of dragging this on, but people like you are a waste of forum space.

But the games would infect have to be using the same images
Something like epigs!
But it could stop people cracking it.
It will most likely be a Pro feature ?
And i don't think it is something that is needed now.
They spend a lot of time giving us Gamecenter, now we can wait for other things.
