Kanye West Blasts Children's Games With In-App Purchases – Like Kim's

[mvcg66b3r]

Kanye West went on a Twitter tantrum on Friday, ranting about online children’s games that allow kid players to make in-app purchases.

“F–k any game company that puts in-app purchases on kids games!!!!” the rapper tweeted, with other tweets following, such as, “That makes no sense!!! We give the iPad to our child and every 5 minutes there’s a new purchase!!!”

Twitter users were quick to point out that his wife, Kim Kardashian, offers in-app purchases in her own online game, “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,” with some costing as much as $40.

In fact, the in-app purchases were a main factor allowing Kardashian to rake in $1.6 million its first five days on the market. Business Insider reported that the game made $43 million in its third quarter.

Kardashian had defended her in-app purchase options, stating that parents can set their app controls to check their children’s spending habits.

Well, I guess it's a start. Better than nothing, at least until somebody with a little actual credibility chimes in against it.

Personally, it's highly unethical and should be banned outright, especailly since many parents (people in general) are incapable of changing anything from the default settings or can't be bothered to figure out how. I mean, look at how overrun 462.5625/67.0 has gotten by little kids in some places.
