Is have a " *Subject to demand " a mistake ?

I'm in the middle of developing a new game which at the time of release will have 25 levels and each level will take anywhere between 2 to 10 minutes to complete. On the other level selects (think of Angry Birds and Cut the Rope) I will have a icon with Coming Soon !* and at the bottom to the screen was thinking of having a *Subject to Demand.

Is this a big mistake, cheesy, a big no no or would it simple put you off ? Or is there better terminology to use ?

    agree ... the buyer of your game is not the target of your gentle threat to not develop more if you don't sell well since they bought it already.

    Thanks TSB and simo103,

    Is see your point, it's not fare on the buyer. Is there other way of doing it?

    The game so far has taken about 3 months of all my spare time and I'm not sure I can get more that 25 levels out before my family leave me. If I have "Coming Soon" and don't deliver because the game fails will I be shot by the app buying public ?

    So don't write anything... keep it at 25 levels, they already bought so it is better to surprise them with a nice update rather than piss them off by not delivering.

    If you are serious about each level being 10 minutes then 250 minutes of gameplay is better than a lot of games on the appstore that are priced at .99

    Thanks for the feedback guys. The *Subject to Demand is gone. I might keep the Coming Soon as the CoverFlow layout will look completely LAME with one image and I have the ideas already so will try to get it all done.

    Also sorry about the typing error in the subject, maybe I do belong in the trailer park ; )

    Ya i would not add that. If i was a buyer and i paid for your game i would feel that i was being ripped off because im not going to get any updates if the game does not sell.

    I completely agree!

    However, I've seen the same stuff said by template makers - "Will make updates if it's popular".

    That always seemed odd to me!

    QS :D
