[casual_games] Tapjoy Android porting program

[Tom Hubina]

It seems like Freemium with Virtual Currency would be the best way to monetize on Android, which is also where something like Tapjoy comes in handy. For that matter, I'm guessing that any ports they pay for would also be using their offer system as part of the monetization strategy. Just a hunch ;)

How does the developer ultimately make money in the Android marketplace if piracy is rampant and ad. revenue is not even a drop in the bucket?

We are offering a $5 million dollar fund to help developers port their existing web and iOS games over to Android. I’ve spoken with a few people on the SIG already, but I wanted to make sure the offer was extended to everyone.
