How in-app purchases have destroyed the game industry

If I pay anything for an app, I hate the fact that after I'm bored with it, I'll usually leave it on my device since I paid for it.

If you think in app purchases are bad, you haven't seen skylanders (activision) or infinity (Disney). These games require action figures to experience the game...wouldn't be so bad if each action figure wasn't over $10!

$10? I'm guessing you don't collect anime figures.

LOL, from the perspective of someone who routinely buys anime figures >$50 I find it funny. Although, I guess there is a big difference when you see the value (more of an artistic value to figure itself) rather than as a secondary instrument to play the game.
