100% there's lots of issues with the game, apple, game industry chasing micro transactions, $99 bundles for a bunch of gems that barely gets you 3 days of action. That sentence where a mom is now juggling mortgage payments vs a $16k credit card debt saddens me.
But please please, be on top of your finances.
- ddevault 6y agoMore than half of Americans have less than $5,000 in savings. HN is a place where most of the participants are wealthy, and your worldview is skewed by that. An unexpected $16,000 cost would totally blindside most families, and they shouldn't have to "manage their finances" to avoid predatory businesses. That it's even possible to spend $16K on predatory micro-transactions - for a child OR an adult - is absolutely sickening. I hope Apple gets their ass handed to them in the current round of antitrust lawsuits.
