another game bites the dust :/
Yeah making things for free is a way to make a living huh ?

Well I guess the question is would NYT make more ad revenue from the massive amount of people that play the game, or a much smaller group that are willing to pay? I'm sure NYT will take that into consideration.Yeah making things for free is a way to make a living huh ?
Wouldn’t be surprised if in a couple years Macrumors goes the same route?There pretty much nothing on nytimes for free again, everything is a paywall. In fact, most websites are heading this path.

I think you missed the point, which is that it’s not a unique game and someone will just make a free versionand yet, funnily enough, you didn't. This is the perfect example of opportunity and time. You didn't do this, someone else did. You didn't market this, someone else did.
The criticism which comes form hindsight is strange - it's always 20/20.
I read stories on The NY Times website all the time and I don’t pay them a cent. I did have to sign up with my email but I never get emails from them either.There pretty much nothing on nytimes for free again, everything is a paywall. In fact, most websites are heading this path.

Lol.. I could code this game in a day. Im sure someone will just make another one when NYT inevitably ruins it. Dumb writers and dumb investors.
And they won't let you go when you do leave. Subscribe through the App Store so your exit requires no contact with The NY Times and their retention team. The Wall Street Journal is as bad at letting customers go.You can't even navigate simple New York Times items like basic food recipes without their annoying subscription pop-ups. I have no problem paying for a service, if I'm really going to really use it. Sure, the recipes are curated, it takes time, I get that -- but the bait-and-switch tactic gets really old.
no they wont. They just shovel the game into a terrible state and quietly kills it. Countless examples of the same behaviour.Well I guess the question is would NYT make more ad revenue from the massive amount of people that play the game, or a much smaller group that are willing to pay?
