Free 2 charge the earth!

anyone see this article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2285857/Zombies-vs-Ninjas-iPad-app-costs-parents-boy-1-700-extra-charges.html

a free 2 play game ends up costing £1,700! more than 40 full price AAA games!
No wonder EA want micro transactions! This can easily be solved with a setting to stop purchases beyond a certain point.
I can understand why companies like the new idea it allows people to play the game and then start paying if they want extras. It can work if done properly but I suspect you may here of more stories like this


at least they got a refund many people wont I guess

Yeah I heard about this! Was quite suprised to hear that Apple offered a refund. I think there will be many fake stories trying to get refunds in the future too.
