AppleInsider.com: ‘Smurfs’ Village’ iOS in-app purchases reportedly catch Apple’s ire
“Apple has told Capcom in no uncertain terms that its freemium children’s game has been causing problems with an increasingly significant number of parents who have complained that their children have been racking up large amounts of in-app purchases without their knowledge,” the report said.
I downloaded this free app when it came out a couple of months ago and was shocked to see in-app purchases of up to $99.99. $99.99 will buy you a “wagon of 2000” Smurfberries. Smurfberries are needed to speed up tedious parts of the game, which to me is pretty much the entire game. This game seems only designed to promote in-app purchases and to prey on those who are addicted to it.
