Now is this just a cop out or what?
These lawsuits to me seem that because of the laziness of the parents, they are trying to re-coup some cost of their kids playing games. Honestly, i see it a lot in Magazine/News Paper reviews, people screaming at Apple because they find they download the free Newspaper/Magazine App, then have to pay to actually read it.... It amazes me that people are this stupid !!!!
Since when have you gone to a news-agency and got the paper for free, or gone and walked out with a FREE copy of the latest RC Helicopter Magazine.... No never, thats what i thought.
The same goes for the In App Purchases for games. In the iPhone/iPad Apps there is a place down the bottom that has In App Purchase displayed. In iTunes, the In App Purchases and prices are there too, down the left side of the App Description.
So why do Apple have to justifie the stupidity of parents to 1, not look at the Apps they are buying for their 5yr old, and 2, when they do hand the iDevice to their little child, cant invoke the Restrictions in the Settings ??
I have all the Retrictions i want already sorted and all i do is turn the restrictions on when i hand over my iPhone or iPad to my son, or his mate when someone comes to play. That way no matter what, all they can do is play games, and not get in-App purchase, get online with Safari, not buy Apps, not delete Apps and so on.
I think we are getting too lazy for our own good, and NEED to blame someone for our stupidity !!
