@CZYjoeDAVOLA: Android is free. Google made ~$1B off of it last year.
1: STS makes money for every player it keeps. No player, no ads, no additional downloads for free plat from time to time etc etc
2: linked to previous statements
3: set it right and you don't have to worry about it. Once more: a balanced ratio would be the key. Let it even be 1: 10k
4: pirated? the game is free to download from the market. There's nothing to pirate. Furthermore, it's server-centric, not client centric.
On a side note, you CAN buy items with both gold and plat: check your store, for example, exlixirs.
