Goodbye Paywall - Table Tennis Touch Eliminates In-App Purchases

In an interesting move, Yakuto has updated their fun ping-pong game, Table Tennis Touch, by eliminating their previous in-app purchases. If you have already purchased an arcade key they will still work, but now all of the boosts are free. You can earn boosts in career mode, and in the quick game mode boosts are now infinite.

According to James Gratton, programmer for Yakuto, "Table Tennis Touch is a challenging game. If you can’t beat an opponent you could say you need more practice, or you could blame the game for being too difficult. But if the idiot developers allow you to buy an elixir that suddenly enables you to vanquish your foe, you cry paywall! And that’s a reasonable conclusion... This is a big, bold step for us. We really hope it’s received in the way it’s intended: to remedy our past mistake and to make Table Tennis Touch an unarguably premium product with zero paywalls, be they real or perceived."

Table Tennis Touch now also includes 10 new achievements, improved messages and visuals, and a few bug fixes.

You can pick up Table Tennis Touch for $3.99 on the App Store.

Prepare Yourself for Golden Gate Smackdown II - a No Holds Barred 32 Person Ping Pong Tournament for Charity

Posted by Rob Rich on January 20th, 2014

It's time to take up the paddle once more. For justice!

2013's Golden Gate Smackdown saw an impressive turnout of folks looking to have a good time and play some ping pong for charity. This year's 32 person tournament is scheduled for February 12 (7pm-12am) at the Mezzanine in San Francisco.

It's going to be a tournament to remember; with plenty of major companies representing themselves on the tables, and this year's special musical guest will be The Pharcyde. So, think you've got what it takes to go up against Silicon Valley's toughest paddlers?

Ping pong hopefuls can email the event coordinators at [email protected] or go through Eventbrite if they would like to sign up and show off their skills.
