    Well that certainly makes no sense.
    If you go to the store and buy a loaf of bread--and the following week the bread is on sale--do you think the store should give you a refund because you paid a higher price? With that logic, nothing would ever be on sale...anywhere.
    People have to realize that sometimes you just miss out on the sale price for things. It's life.

    Exactly.

    What it all comes down to is basic economics. If you purchased something because you felt the price was fair on Day 1 then if it changes on day 2, you really have no right to complain since you felt the price was fair on the prior day.

    If you did not feel the price was fair on day 1, you should have not purchased the item.

    A merchant sells and item for a price. The potential customer has a choice whether to purchase said item. If the price is too high, not enough customers will purchase it and the merchant will go out of business. If the price is too low, too many customers will purchase it and the merchant risks losing money on the venture.

    It all comes down to personal responsibility, that is what is "fair".

    You need to stalk me?
    You guys should look at the fake iPhone tracker apps, number finders and all that crap. Idiots pile up faster than sh1t.

    They see ratings with 1 stars and says it does not work (how could it? to begin with?), but yet they still buy it THEN leave a review.

    I don't think there's a group more idiotic than these people.

    Life isn't fair. I think my mom used to say that...

    The idiot reviews are trying to rebel against capitalism, they just don't know it. (Due to limited firing of neurons, most likely). It all comes down to competition. If you don't like Gamestop's price you check your local store or Amazon etc. If you don't like the app store price, well, your shit-outta-luck as they say. Aside from all that jailbreaking stuff.

    Oh, and what about those douche monkeys giving Across Age DX one star for not working with their 3GS? The first three words of the app description are "Retina Display Only" lol. What a bunch of numb nuts :D

    These are the worst idiots. I seriously wonder when the modern teens and young adults in our society became idiotic babboons.

    One week later your bread is crap so your comparison don't work. :D

    Anyway I see what you mean but the point is dev play with prices on a week base, there's something wrong for consumers. I understand that for many dev it's the only way to try catch some attention. But the point is it's crazy for users. If you ignore that then perhaps you should stop put hyper liberalism logic above all. Not to mention how wrong it is to think there's no rules. I'd be curious to check but I bet there's more rules and laws related to economy and market in USA than anywhere else. Ha well ok I start arguing on my joke, I know it will never happen. :)

    The point is that this mechanism of constant sales build a total lack of confidence in players. And dev win in this mechanism a price drop down to minimal price. That's why prices standard dropped that fast to $.99. Many players like me just gave up and wait minimal sales and gave up buy a game if it isn't free or $.99, with few exceptions I suppose.

    Well capitalism or hyper liberalism? What's fun behind your words is you don't realize that this doesn't mean there's no rules. You don't have the right to buy music in a foreign country and bring it back in USA. You don't have the right to 'return" a digital game you bought like on Steam even if you didn't succeed make it work. And so on, and so on. :) You could know the hyper liberalism but I don't think you are fully aware of what it is really.

    Because, you know, stereotyping is both a form of prejudice and idiocy.

    Perfect grammar couldn't save a qordobo post, I'm afraid. I don't remember calling you an idiot... nor anything else. A little oversight, allow me to rectify. Flame on, Cap'n Nonsense! :D

    I saw a review for the game "Alien Space" and one of the customers wrote this:

    "...you run out of ammo if you shoot too much..." seriously I want to find this person and hang them. How stupid of a comment can you make? I LOL'd for like 3 mins though at the stupidity displayed.

    You quoted I don't know think if that's not an idiot then I wonder. :rolleyes: And now you continue (but I didn't quote this part). Ha well ok, enough for me, and pointless in general.

    The worse were when 4.0 came out. I saw things like...

    "Doesn't work, 1 star"

    Come on, give the developer time to rush out a fix! Also that 1 star review will pull the games rating down for weeks.

    but PhotoForge is a damn poor show, I have this app since OS 4 came out on my device and it crashes since then, and NO response, Update or comment on the dev's side. This is sad stuff and worth one star

    i read reviews alot, the question is why are the reviews so lame?
    1/5 says the game is awesome 5 stars
    1/5 says the game crashes - 1 star
    1/5 includes wrong information, wants features that apple wont approve or wants unnecessary features, complains about price etc.
    2/5 are completely lame reviews - 1 star
    and for some rws it seems people only buy the game to rate it 1 star
