I am beginning to suffer from ‘Top-In-App Purchase’ syndrome. Once upon a time it was a novelty. But now it is becoming the norm particularly with popular games who now rely on this method as a source of their main income. I am starting to look at games from a different viewpoint and that I am getting an undercut, in essence ‘free’ or ‘light’ product with reduced capabilities unless I top-up the purchase by real cash despite the fact that I have already paid for the game. I would prefer there to be a free and one-off paid version of a game which includes its full capabilities rather than a continued skimming of cash for extra content. What are your views?
