Comment on Whatever goes up, that’s what we doparent

The sad truth is if the developer had priced the game at say five dollars they most likely never would have been discovered or if they had the user's conditioning would have kicked in: "Must find free alternative! Dumb greedy developers trying to rip me off, entertain and teach my child for free. FREE I SAY!"

We (as app users) brought this on ourselves, or at the very least we're half culpable.

The day the app store stops being the primary marketing channel for apps the better off we will be.

I stand by my original comment. Yes, developers deserve to make money, that doesn't mean you have to be an asshole, especially when they probably go around claiming to be "educators".
