12. “ X came to be by a very analytical approach. Y has been in the business of mobile
games since 2003 and has made 50+ games before X, most of them work for hire for
people like EA, GameHouse, Nokia etc. So the team knows how to make games, for
example Bounce for Nokia has been installed on 250M+ devices. The team that
created X was 12 people, now Y is 50 people, quite a change in 12 months.
Anyway, the game was built around the characters that Jaakko Iisalo, our game
designer, came up with. The original idea was very different, but everybody loved the
X, so it was decided to build a game around the X. Over the next 8 months
_________became the game we know today. Hit the store on Dec 2009, slow start,
number one in Finland, then Sweden, number one in UK in April and then things
really took off. Have been number one since in both UK and US. Number one in 77
countries. Number one longer than anybody else. 50M+ downloads across

60. Charging for the toilet.
X has come up with some truly innovative ways of keeping costs down
This is a plan that X’s head Michael O'Leary is particularly keen on. Having
coin-operated toilets on flights is something the brash face of X has been
planning for some time.
Charging for refunding tax and third-party fees
When flights are cancelled passengers have a right to claim back taxes and
other fees. But X adds a £15 administration fee, often more than the charges
themselves.
Charging for mobile calls.
Breaking the sanctity of the plane cabin X is not only allowing mobile phone
use, it's charging £2 a minute for the pleasure of saying 'I'm on the plane, we're
just arriving at Stansted.‘
Charging by the pound
Body weight pounds that is. The airline has looked at many ways to charge
more overweight people for taking up too much room. It's all about "those
really large passengers who invade the space of the passengers sitting beside
them", apparently.
