It's all about the merchandising. Or "Moichandising" if you're a short gold dude in a robe.

Clearly, you do not have any kids addicted to this game. My two nieces and a nephew, are costing me ~$100.00/week in in-app purchases. This has been going on for a little over a year now.

Isn’t that not good to let them spend that much money? $30+ a week per kid seems like quite a bit of money to be spent.
