It's not in-app purchases. It is: cheat codes Literally every other name you might choose to apply there is less correct than that one, and by using any other name all you do is perpetuate the idea that they are anything but that. Worse, you keep people from making the easy logical steps in judging game, wherein if you do think of "iap" as cheat codes, the game design becomes either "can be played normally" or "nigh-unplayable without cheat codes". A game to which the latter applies thus becomes easily evident as what it really is: Broken.
