The death of premium games on the App Store has been widely anticipated by mobile game industry pundits for quite some time now. But in the face of its presumed demise, Apple still manages to throw lifelines at developers looking to create premium-only experiences by featuring their games every now and again.

Meet the developers who have created premium games and gotten featured by Apple and learn what are their lessons for developing quality premium games in an increasingly free-to-play world.
