And rightly so. I'm a developer also, so I can empathize a bit with the challenges of monetizing an app, but even I think it's ludicrous for a game like this to cost $30 if me, my wife, and my son all want to play it. It's a novelty side scroller ffs. Add to that always-on-internet and they're out of their **** minds.
I mean $30 can buy you a decent full-blown console game that your entire family and anyone that comes over to your house can play, in perpetuity, without internet. And this game is nowhere near as immersive or complex. So I say grumble away fellow forum malcontents, in this case it's entirely justified.
