I can totally see your stance here and in most instance's I would generally agree. This is probably one of those rarer cases where paying the $30 is a crap shoot at if they'd bite at something. If they really got into this, then with how fast kids learn it probably wouldn't be much use beyond the point of a year anyway as they're likely to have naturally progressed. If they genuinely love it then you will have made them godlike. When you consider this as a hobby product compared to others aimed at this demographic, surely it feels like stealing :)
