So… Where do I begin? I have been watching the iPhone and their app sales process and now I think it’s gone to far.
Take a look at this $.99 Tetris game in the iPhone App Store. It’s #1 in the paid category but it’s a sham. Tetris is an age-old game and this is exploiting it. The images below show a whacked out version of Tetris that is not even a complete game. You have to pay for coins or memberships to get deeper access. Boo.
This is bad. I come from a generation where games are complete and full of user experience. Now, with this new app store process, developers can release an intriguing video game classic then try to gouge your wallet to fully experience the game.
Without a trial refund process we are held to fall for these shams on the Apple iPhone App Store. Just a note, the Google Android Market (app store) give you 15 minutes to try an app and get a refund. Not bad.
I know that creating apps are expensive and developer (and Apple) needs to make turn a profit, but don’t dupe us. Give us a good game like we remembered it.
This will get out of hand.
