Hidden behind an extra click? Okay I'll bite. I'm on my phone, but that's fair as most people would be as wee I imagine.
Let's see. Game section, and the top free game I see is Disco Zoo. It's advertised as free. It's described as best new game.
Tap.
Okay, let's see, still free. Swipey Swipey swipe. Pretty pictures, Game Center, and oh look! IAP. But yres, I need to tsp to see those prices.
I wonder..,
So yeah, it's battleship meets zoos. You earn gold in game and use that to fund your battle shipping excursions. I guess if I'm impatient I can just buy more gold. Yep.
Yes yes, I see your point! The game is clearly not free! I have to buy that gold instead of playing the game.
Thank god the EU is there to tackle the horrors of Disco Zoo.
Seriously, the only dishonesty here are the people claims of suffering from this.
- DanBC 13y agoYou might want to switch to decaff. You're being a bit of a dick. In the EU the price you see is the price you pay. Weights and measures are standardised so people can compare proces across different stores. In the US the price you see is less than the price you pay. You add sales tax. That makes it harder to compare prices. The problem isn't that apps cost money nor that they offer IAPs. The problem is the lack of tranparency with apps. This means that good quality apps with honest procing are penalised by lower quality apps that hide the cost in IAPs but describe themselves as free. You only need to look at the App Store to see how dysfunctional the current system is. I realy don't know why you are so aggressively dismissive of something that would allow developers to advertise their software at a sensible real cost and not have to compete with shitty "free" apps that hide the cost in IAPs.
