The secret is the pricing. Back in the old days I spent more money in the first hour of my Magic: The Gathering habit than my wife and I have spent on Angry Birds. Of course, MtG required printing and shipping physical cards.

Still, even 0.99$ or whatever it costs is not nothing. I know people who have racked up several hundred EUR in App shopping. It adds up.

And people don't buy every game that is cheap.
