I think what you would find, is that if your product is solid.... and this one is for the most part, your reviews will speak for themselves. People will read them, see the popularity of the product and buy it. I think people who would claim that a game that is well developed and polished, should be for free... is a ridiculous notion. You spend X amount of time working on something...it shouldn't be free. The cost of most iOS games is a joke compared to what games cost on other platforms. I think most players have either gotten spoiled or have unrealistic expectations.
In reality, people might moan and complain... but ***ody minds paying a few (or several) dollars for something they enjoy. Look at Gameloft... They charge probably more than any developer out there for their games, but ya know what? People buy them, because they were well developed and worth the money spent, even if it's a total rip off and completely non-innovative. Valor gives many hours of enjoyment and that should be worth an up front cost. My 2 cents.
