    Hi, so if I joined the pass and bought some in app purchases using the £5 off discount, would they remain after the subscription ends? I already have the premium app bought, so just the IAP.

    I got one doubt, if I buy a family pass can all 5 of my linked accounts can get free in app purchases or just 1 account gets the in app purchases?
    Like if I bought the pass for 30$ and say I have 2 accounts in same game, will I be able to get the in app purchases for free in both accounts or just one (assuming both are connected via family pass)

    Can i ask about the play pass? What if you have saved your progress from games like kingdom rush vengeance. Once the subscription ends, will it save still or will it reset my progress? Will google force me to pay for those in app purchases like the DLC's of kingdom rush vengeance?

    • @DadPlaysGames
      @DadPlaysGames  7 месяцев назад

      Depends on how the game has done progression i guess, but the save should remain locally or synced to Google play games or similar and thus be saved. The only thing play pass gives you would be the license to use the app

      Some do. Grand mountain adventure, for example comes to mind. Stardew valley, Terraria and others who originated on pc/consoles should support it too. Don't kno if the filter is available if you don't have play pass, but after searching in play store, you should find Play Pass as a filter on top to only show results that are on it. Search for controller support and enable the filter :)

    • @DadPlaysGames
      @DadPlaysGames  Год назад +32

      Only for the participating apps. But yes, if an app is included in Play Pass, all IAPs in that app is free if you have a subscription.
      Developers get paid by Google. If it's a monthly sum, the money they would have gotten if the user had bought it or a lump sum when signing on, I don't know. But from a conversation with a Dev about Xbox Game Pass, getting on a subscription service like that, or this, can often pay for the cost of making the game in the first place, plus the next project. Sometimes, financial security for a project is preferred for a studio after all.

      @fakhrianuar I suppose you could abuse it to try to make Google pay more than they had planned to the Devs or for the Devs to lose out on money... But you'd be working VERY hard to remove a single drop of water from the oceans.
      If you'd spend 35-40 bucks on buying games or IAPs that's included in the service, you're better off signing up. Or if, like me, you want to be able to pick from a smorgasbord of good games whenever you feel like it.
      Would I have saved money by not being subscribed and just bought what I wanted, when I wanted? Possibly. But there is value in convenience and for many Devs a service like this puts their games in the hands of thousands who'd never have looked twice otherwise. It's a bag of money for an advertisement spot, in a sense
