Is Apple Responsible For A New Breed of Problem Gamblers?
It's so easy to purchase apps from the app store for $1, I buy an app with ease without even thinking about it because $1 is nothing. I have a few friends who regularly buy the hottest apps out, not to mention friends who buy in-app purchases and it all adds up.
I just wrote a short blog post with two images of the highest grossing app in the app store at present and it's a slot machine game that is free to download, but you can buy coin packs, the second most popular purchase is $20. http://ilikekillnerds.com/2012/05/this-is-a-little-worrying/
Have Apple created a new generation of problem gamblers? What is everyone's opinion on this.
