In response to: Unluckiest player alive or ridiculous drop rate for Flamebrand?

This new gaming model may eventually result in laws to protect consumers. The iPad has a lot of games that cause little kids to pay "free" and then the parents get a surprise bill.

I get around this by turning off in-game purchases on my kids' IOS devices and telling them that they have to ask me if they want to purchase anything in-game. I do not give them the password to my iTunes account, so I am the only one who can make these purchases. The parents who got the big bills, just need to be better parents. Also, never link any games to your bank account, or high-limit credit cards, use gift cards, or pre-payed credit cards, then, if there are no funds, the purchases won't go through.
