Despite the fact that in recent years, most games have unfortunately adopted the free-to-win option instead of free-to-play or selling the application at a fixed cost, fortunately not all developers have opted for this monetization method, although it is the best so that users can test the game and assess if it is worth it.
If a game is paid, we buy it and if it does not meet our expectations later, we can return it calmly, so is another option to test a game and assess whether it deserves what it is worth. In the case of being a paid game, when a developer wants to promote it or make it known, they usually offer promotional codes so that those of us who are dedicated to this can download them without paying.
But this is not the only utility of app promo codes, as it is also a good method to be able to carry out raffles for both applications and games that are always paid. These types of promo codes do not cover in-app purchases. Believe it or not, the operation of these promotional codes is not available worldwide, although Google is trying to expand the number of them.
The last three countries, as far as we are concerned, where developers can issue promotional codes are Argentina, Peru and Chile. So far, the number of countries from where developers can issue promotional codes was 25, where the only Spanish-speaking countries is Mexico. Spain is not among the countries from which promotional codes can be issued, promotional codes that can be redeemed anywhere in the world.
We do not know what Google is based on for allow developers to issue this type of promotional codes, but it is especially striking that from Spain, developers do not have this option at hand. The Android developer community in Spain may be small, but with a market share close to 90%, I highly doubt it.
