I'm curious if these 'elite' developers budget out a chunk of their profits to buy their own apps and/or free-to-play 'points' simply as a means of keeping their games on the top grossing lists.
I doubt it. What would be the point of paying your way into the top grossing? I'd bet that almost all "normal" users go only to Top Paid (cause that's the default) and Top Free (cause it's free).
