I wasn't talking about the big/important developers, I was talking about lots of small ones. The power of the crowd etc.

Working in games and iPhone development, I hear so many people telling me that 80-90% of people using their apps have pirated them and they've only made back $20k of the $300,000 they put into developing that game.

You've got more experience in this area than me, but I suspect there are lots of people who'd start playing with a platform with a micropayments system with the thought it could earn them some cash (whether they are right or wrong).
