Has a company found a way to launch a subscription-based plan for a mobile game on Apple’s App Store It certainly looks that way.
Disney’s MMO-based Club Penguin has made its way to mobile, and Apple has given the okay to use recurring subscription payments, instead of paid downloads or in-app purchases.
When asked about the process, Club Penguin’s Chris Heatherly explained the approach for the app. “It’s not a game. It’s a kids’ social network in the guise of a game.”
The subscription plan currently sits at $7.95 per month, although discounted plans are available in three to six month set-ups if customers prefer.
