Hi everyone,
I am almost done with the Android convert for one of my games, which I have decided I will make available for free downloaded and ad-supported. I am thinking about going with app walls and interstitial ads etc.
The question that I have is that there are a lot of websites ( say some apk365.com ) get hold of the apk file and make them available for direct download and I wont be surprised if they get downloaded tens of thousands of times through these websites. Then the users probably just ‘package install’ the apk file like I’m doing for testing my game. In this case, does the ad network operate in the game and still get the developer paid?
