Because they're terrible and misused. You can't truly own a game with in-app purchases, because you're always having to buy new stuff. It's so much more expensive than a normal-priced game.
ya but IAP can give u more replayibility for the game if u didnt play it as much before u bought an IAP.
That's not always the case. For games that actually offer iAP for new content like Peggle and Jet Car Stunts, iAP are a good thing. The developer is trying to make some profit from all the additional work they put in to making their games better. A simple free update doesn't give them that. If it's a studio with a great background like CM, I wouldn't be worried about any kind of ripping-off going on. It's nearly never more expensive than a regular game in any case.
If they're having me pay for new content, that's fine. But if they expect me to pay for currency and things that are more or less necessary to play the game then that's just cheap.
Well, those are usually freemium games that we label as "trash" here on TA. I doubt that's the case here.
Hey >:/ Jailbreaking =/= 100% chance of being a pirate, and JBing shouldn't be associated with pirates at all. I mean, yeah, there are quite a few out there, but you could've said "too many ppl pirate their apps now..." instead.
ya but when u have pirated apps, u r basically stealing from the devs of the app when u should be paying full price for it and i have nothing against jailbreaking but usually when u jailbreak ur idevice, ppl usually get the pirated apps... thts all im saying... nothing against jailbreaking

Holy crap, that was one killer trailer. The game looks like it's going to be a winner for sure. Keep up the good work guys. Definitely something to look forward to in the summer.
yes and plus CMG can still work on more things to add or improve since this wont come for a few months!
