Google Play Store just knocked the price of a slew of games down to just 10 cents

If you’ve been looking for some games on the super cheap for your Android device, several of Electronic Arts’ and one of its divisions, Chillingo’s, games have been lowered to just 10 cents on the Google Play Store.

The discounts aren’t exclusive to the United States, as similar price cuts can be seen in Canada, Mexico, and several South American countries, including Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. Interestingly, those in Australia, India, and European countries can’t partake in the discount fun, though the U.K. has a separate Sonic the Hedgehog deal.

Second, if you sit firmly on the iOS camp at the moment, none of these discounts will apply to these games’ App Store equivalents.

What’s also interesting is Dead Space, a game supposedly pulled from both the App Store on iOS and the Google Play Store on Android, is on the list of discounted games. In fact, it was supposed to have been removed on Sept. 1, but don’t let this phantom appearance fool you — EA already announced it would end support for this game and many other of its mobile titles, so if the game doesn’t work for your device, we doubt EA will update the game to change that.

In addition, there’s no word on when these deals will end. As such, if you’re interested in any of the listed games, it’d be wise to pick these up sooner rather than later. Finally, a number of these games do include in-app purchases, so their 10-cent price tags might not reflect the real cost of playing those games.

Regardless, here’s the list of discounted games, which were all originally priced around $4 to $5:

When I first got an iPhone in 2008, I remember checking out web apps, which were basically websites that I would keep bookmarked on the home screen. Every time I opened them up, they somehow didn’t look like I just launched mobile Safari. Eventually, Apple launched the App Store in July 2008, mostly eliminating the need for antiquated web apps.

Since the App Store opened up, we've gotten to see innovative new apps and games that took our iPhones to a completely new level — showing us what our devices were capable of. I was excited to see and hear about new apps for a variety of things, from task managers to camera replacement apps to photo editors to journals and so much more. Games were also making use of the iPhone’s accelerometer and gyroscope sensors, so it wasn’t just always about touchscreen controls.

Just over a week ago, Google was fined approximately $113 million in India for forcing its in-house billing system on developers making Android apps. While the fine was hefty in and of itself, the laundry list orders issued by the Competition Commission of India were the real concern for Google.

The company has now complied with the most controversial directive by removing the mandatory Google Play billing policy for in-app purchases made in India. In an official update, the company notes that it is “pausing enforcement of the requirement for developers to use Google Play's billing system for the purchase of digital goods and services for transactions.”
Why does it matter?
