just think, somebody approved this :)

I saw that on another forum earlier. It's terrible that this got passed by Apple. Things like this should be illegal. I can imagine angry parents getting billed hundreds of dollars for this crap, because their kids have unwittingly just pressed the BUY button to get all the characters and bullets etc. I know you can turn off "In App Purchases" but recent cases in the UK have shown that parents either don't, aren't aware that you can or can't even find out how.

  I'm not really a fan of the freemium model, it just feels exploitative at this point.  It's going to be difficult for various distribution networks to iron out the kinks without impacting legitimate software in the process.    But you'd think stuff like this, would never have been approved in the first place.  So either the reviewer(s) aren't doing their job, or the guidelines they use aren't sufficient.
