Items disappearing takes this scummy business model to a whole new depth of viciousness.
A few years ago i wanted to get my young sons a Disney Cars game to play on my iPad. There was a new one available, it was very pretty, but reasonable progress in the game depended on building your town using coins, and every single building you placed, had a timer counting down until it would disappear.
I don’t like wishing ill on other people, but it’s very hard to think kindly towards whomever designs games like that.
Obviously I immediately uninstalled the game before showing it to my boys. Zero dollars for Disney. If they’d just put a price tag on the whole experience, even if it had been quite high, I would have paid it.
