In app purchases for non pro

Hi,
I am currently working on a village like game that is free. I would really like to add in app purchases to this game but I can not afford a pro account. Anyway, my suggestion is that you add in app purchases for non pro users. But, if you are a non pro user then you the gamesalad creators would get a persentage of the money non pro users make from their in app purchases. But if you are a pro user then you would get all of the income. This way both you and me would be getting something out of this.
Please consider my idea,
Thanks

    This would be impossible to implement as all the IAP stuff is dealt with at Apple's end. I highly doubt that Gamesalad will make IAP free within the next year or so, if not ever. Maybe try creating some other games and releasing them to earn enough money to pay for Pro.

    Yeah I thought so. But I think they would still be making money from this if they chose to do so. I have been thinking of a game to make to be payed but more people download free games then payed ones. That is why I wanted in app purchases.

    They wouldn't make money from it, in fact it'd probably do the opposite. IAP is a big reason for a free user to pay for Pro, so offering IAP for free would be making Pro less worthy, so less people would buy it.

    I'd not spend any money I make from my first game and let it add up, you'll be at $500 in no time ;)

    @J-Games the Pro License Revolves around monetization. If your focus is making money on the AppStore then you need to make the investment required. If you dont believe your game will generate enough to cover the cost of pro then why would GS have any interest in taking a cut?
