They pretty specifically said that the inability to charge for updates encourages pump and dump development.



That doesn't explain how, nor really makes any sense.


If you can't make any money for upgrades, and there isn't a new influx of users, then there's not much money to be made by updating your app after release—only the people who would buy it after the update, but wouldn't have bought without it.
