I wish you the best of luck on your game, I still believe there's plenty of people like us who feel this way as well.
I look at Limbo, Braid or Meat Boy, and they get it. They are great games with no BS.
I don't mind iap for other type of apps, in fact, it's a cool thing, you select only the features you need and you upgrade accordingly. But on games, it's crap, and it must go away.
