Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has called upon game industry companies to avoid the free-to-play model for monetizing video games due to greed. He believes that setting fixed prices creates a culture of paying for software and avoids the Recording Industry struggles with MP3 file sharing and monetizing free music services like Youtube. He admits that Nintendo's mobile games like Super Mario Run haven't met projections and seeks to promote subscription services to customers that find value in Nintendo's content.
"It's necessary for developers to learn to get along with" subscription-style services, Miyamoto said. "When seeking a partner for this, it's important to find someone who understands the value of your software. Then customers will feel the value in your apps and software and develop a habit of paying money for them."
