I don't think moving the goalposts from $30k/month to $1k/month out of thin air makes your argument more convincing.

"building a company 99 cents at a time isn't going to work"

Except when it does. You could say the same thing about any price point.

From your earlier thread:

"It doesn't sound like the economics are there to build the next EA, id Software, etc."

Is Rovio not many times bigger than id software?

How much of their revenue comes from the initial purchase, versus in-app purchases? 0.99 is great if you can do it over and over again, and get the customer LTV much higher.
