Holy bananas!

Microtransactions suck... But these take the absolute cake...

The worst thing is that if no one bought them, they probably wouldn't exist... Why the balls do people buy £70 worth of coins (etc.) for games???

I bought 2 spectre packs on ME3 (ONLY TWO!!!) and felt so much shame...
Ooh Yeah!

The worst part is if you don't have passwords setup for transactions, your kids can just click away merrily at the pretty pictures, oblivious to the fact that they are clearing out your bank account. Seriously, look at some of the games/apps out there. After you complete a level or die they give you an option to quit, continue, or spend more money. I think fruit ninja was like this. After you lose one of the icons would take you to the market so you could actually buy one of their other games.

What a sneaky thing to do, although I'm sure it really only catches people who don't enough attention to what their kids are doing.
