    What is the most money you paid for a mobile game?

    I, untill this day, didn't buy any games for money, but I am really curious about other people.

    I'd probably spend around $10 or slightly more, but most likely not much over $15 unless the game is really that good, which I think is unlikely with mobile games since they are so simplistic.

    15 max and only if it was a really good game almost on par with something on a real portable or console.

    The most money I've spent is around £5, this was for micro transactions which gave me a cutting edge, I wouldn't recommend spending over £10 as it's a waste of money.

    I as you have never paid for any racing games either and I think that it's a good decision.

    I think it's not worth paying for games.. you can have fun by free-to-play games or simply do something else. I rather spend money somewhere else.

    I've never spent a cent on mobile games, as I always tend to wait until they become free or I just contact the game developers if I could test it.

    @MissBin yeah some of these games are the same price as some discounted PC games and those obviously are a lot more full and probably have a bit more replay value. I guess the best feature of these games is that you get to bring them with you but there are so many free games available as alternatives anyway.

    Right you are. Most of the PC games and console games have a lot more content and replay value than the games found on mobile. However, mobile games have evolved a little and thus a lot of games are also now able to provide a lot of features to a mobile game.

    With that said, what is the highest amount that I would pay for a mobile game? Probably 15 bucks. I already paid 14 bucks for a Final Fantasy game and I was very impressed. I look forward to the next mobile game that I would purchase.

    Yeah games like FF are definitely worth it no matter what platform they are in because I imagine the controls aren't that much different since you'd only have to pick the moves instead of having to execute them. Console ports like GTA and FF and NFS probably are worth their price.

    Currently, I won't spend any money. They would need to come out with an amazing mobile game that has seriously great reviews and a lot of different tracks and features and characters so I wouldn't get bored. I would hate paying $10 for a game and getting bored with it after a week.

    Hmm, the money I've payed for mobile games ranges from £0 to £0.
    Mainly because I rather spend money on console/PC gaming rather than mobile gaming. There are plenty of fun FREE mobile games, I hardly go on my mobile so what's the point.

    I will have to admit that there is quality in mobile games that make you want to spend more. It is all about the community involved, cos I see a lot more people involved and talking about such games. I myself have paid about $20 in in-app purchases in mobile games that were supposedly free after having spent a lot of time in it.

    Since I don't play many games on my mobile device owing to its screen size, I'll never pay for a game. If necessity demands that I play a game on my phone to kill time then I'd probably download a free game.

    Not all free games are bad so I'm sure I'd still enjoy myself playing a free game which isn't so popular whilst saving the cash that I'd have spent on some game which I'd probably play once and never touch again.

    I probably wouldn't ever pay for a mobile game. The thing is, I find that it's really easy to get bored of mobile games, so I just play the free ones instead. Plus, you can easily find a download online instead of paying for it.

    I have never ever paid for a mobile game before. But I am considering buying GTA Vice City and an RPG that looks like Skyrim for the most part.

    Very true. I'd also much rather spend on console games aside from the few mobile games I've recently found that I think really deserve the support. For most of them though I'd much rather just play the free version.

    I'd rather buy games for PC and console, I stick to free games on mobile phones and only play them during commutes or short breaks where I can't access my PC.
