Using real money for the chance to acquire an item seems like a form of gambling.
This leads to the questions:
Is that legal in the Android market and condoned by Google?
Also, isn't gambling illegal in most states. Is using in game currency, purchased with real money, in games of chance get around state gambling laws?
I definitely think the grab box systems raises some ethical question. I can see if the gamble was made with gold acquired in the game, but considering the grab boxes are played with real money I think there are some legal issue involved.
