karnak1: I was feeling like going backwards 20 years
Yeah me too. So I quickly came back to GOG to complain that they sell too many recent games. Uh. Not enough. Not old... new... too much enough... Wait where was I.

DCT: Oh I been saying for years now that mobile gaming isn't the future, I laughed nearly to death when people had claimed in the past that mobile was going to dominate and kill PC and console gaming and I agree I can see it heading towards a crash if it keeps going in the direction it currently is.

karnak1: That which I even find most strange is that some guys, who've been playing PC games for as long as you have, are now getting completely into those stupid mobile games (shitty basic RPGs, mediocre strategy games, etc).
I once tried several strategy and RPG mobile games and I had to quit. I was feeling like going backwards 20 years (both in gameplay as in UI).

Sometimes I wonder if that "chemtrails" conspiracy theory is indeed correct. At least that would be a proper explanation for the sudden ammount of stupidity worldwide. :P
I can't stand playing most mobile games for more then a few minutes. Even as a way to kill time when I don't have anything else, I rather burn data watching something on Netflix or Hulu or listen to a podcast then play a mobile game.

yyahoo: I'm pretty sure all of those games are sold shareware-like on Google Play where you can try them out and if you like it and want to continue then you can buy the rest of it in-game. I don't know how in-app purchasing could possibly work anyway since the Humble Games aren't connected to the Google Play store, so how would they charge you to make a purchase?

babark: They're offered for free with in-app purchases (like on Google Play), and they're ALSO offered paid also with in-app purchases (also on Google Play store as well). When you install it on your android, it tells you a list of permissions required, which in this case includes your phone profile/IDs, as well as all the other stuff I mentioned. To be honest, I simply checked the permissions for those games (without downloading them), so I can't be certain they're different builds, but judging from previous experience with other android games I got off Humble Bundle, they're the same builds with the same "features".

Unfortunately, "DRM-free" culture is the furtherest thing from mobile gaming right now.
What games did you get on Humble that still had working in-app purchasing?

Honestly, I don't remember now, and I'd have to download them again to check, and considering how the Humble App seems a bit messed, it doesn't seem worth it. Of the top of my head, I seem to remember some "Hero..." game? And also some Bloons game.

Nope on the Bloons game.

Hero Academy has the in app purchase permission. The Humble version seems to have come with a "Gold Pack" of items that you normally would have bought as an in app purchase. Strangely, I can't even find the game on Google Play, so I don't know what to make of it. It seems to be multiplayer based and wanted me to create an account so I could play, so not something I'd ever use anyway.

I did go ahead and buy the Artifex Bundle and DL'd one of the games. The in-app purchase flag is still there. It brought up a pop-up to link to a Google+ account of some sort. I cancelled it out without any problems. The only thing that seemed to be in the game that could be purchased is the other games by the same dev, which all came in the Bundle anyway, so no microtransactions there.

Meh, I'll grant you that the Hero Academy thing is questionable, but the ratio of good to bad in Humble Bundles in my experience is still quite good, so I'm satisfied...

Agreed. Granted, some games have questionable DRM free status, but the fact that I have all functionality, can play if I'm offline, can backup and install them without internet, and no ads or pop-ups to bother me is good enough for me.
