Can we have an option to pay to remove ads?

Game with no ad banners at the sides: https://prnt.sc/1gbc7jh

"Pay to remove adds" (suggested by Coda on 2020-08-10), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

Even though I am a founder pack owner (no ads for me), I think it’d be fair to allow others a similar opportunity.

@ShadesOnBroadway: Oooooh, what's a "founder pack"?!
Most freemium mobile apps with ads and banners have been training users that once they make any purchase they can expect those banners to be removed, further incentivising making that initial purchase. Once a purchase is made, you know you then have a user invested in the game/app and thus have a higher probability of incentivising future purchases and added revenue.
Of course, there are some cheaper purchase options on the store, but even the act of buying coins should be enough to disable ads...
I'm sure there's some math to help decide how many conversions you'd need to get to outweigh the value of revenue being generated from those ads, but the fact that there is an industry-standard on this should be an indicator of the most valuable approach.

I just purchased the Base 5-6 Player Expansion with the expectation that this would remove ads. I am still getting ads.

I only purchased the expansion in order to get rid of ads so I'm pretty disappointed. Why would you show ads to somebody who just paid $20 for your game?

Please stop showing ads to those who have supported colonist.io

I would happily, enthusiastically, pay a small amount monthly to remove ads.

I also would pay a small amount monthly or annually to remove ads. If I play on my ipad, the lower ad covers part of the play area and makes it about impossible to use.

I strongly agree that you should provide a paid, no-ad option. I am a founder so I have no ads but I still think this should be an option for folks now.

I would like to pay to remove ads but would not pay a subscription. Just a one time only cost. I have too many subscriptions as it is.

You can remove them for free though...

This is how the game looks with no banner ads https://prnt.sc/1gbc7jh

Please please add this option. I hate the ads, it flashes all the time and is super annoying. I will literally pay $20 just to remove ads.

The ads are bad because of the flashing. It's not just an annoyance, it actually can be headache-inducing. I would rather support Colonist.io directly. Thanks.
