Kanye West shocked the world last night on Twitter. Apparently, the rapper/fashion designer, took to Twitter to warn parents the dangers of those stupid little iPad games present in front of young children. Those little kids can unknowingly (and sometimes knowingly) rack up charges.
What kind of person would do such a thing? Try to use children to take money away from hard-working parents?
Fuck any game company that puts in-app purchases on kids games!!!

If a game is made for a 2 year old, just allow them to have fun and give the parents a break for Christ sake.

That makes no sense!!! We give the iPad to our child and every 5 minutes there’s a new purchase!!!

It must be extremely annoying to hand your child an iPad, and then minutes later to find out that your child paid for in-game app purchases.
This feeling is shared with Ayelet Waldman, the novelist who recently had a very similar experience when she let her pre-teen son play Kim Kardashian’s Hollywood game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, only to find out that he paid $120 in in-app purchases. However, unlike Kanye West, Waldman went on Facebook instead of Twitter, warning parents about the “vile scumbag Kardashian pigs”.
This modern era of digital money and in-game app purchases has helped make Kim Kardashian earn a reported $43 million in three months last year alone.
