Apple In-App purchase refund
During the next couple of days (maybe weeks) I will be researching what the App Store deems as 'fair' in terms of in-app purchases and modifying the behavior of what you expected to purchase and what was done to it weeks or months later. I'm sure there's some sort of blanket provision in the agreement that says that developers are able to change the the item you've purchased but to what degree.. i'm not sure. A word to the developer, STOP charging such a premium for the guns in-game and then nuking them months later. It's sloppy, irresponsible and reflects just how much thought and effort goes into the game; when it comes to the guns you guys are a mess. I'm also actually surprised about just how passive everyone is on this subject.

It's better that a few people get annoyed with their items being nerfed than the game being ruined forever

Should've been thought about before it was released greg. It's called "planning". And i actually know a couple of people who have spent over $100 on weapons, just to have them 'adjusted' days later. Not fair. |

I agree better planning is needed but they had to do something to fix the problems they had.

So.. what do you tell the people that spent over $50 on a gun expecting it to operate a certain way only to change it. Its a can of worms that i don't think they want to open. |

Well they still own the item and it functions. It just stops them having an giant advantage over everyone else. So I don't think they should have to refund it all. But it is a dificult situation as whatever happens people will be annoyed.

Even with careful planning, thought, and consideration, nothing on release can ever be balanced. Look at League of Legends, for example. Riot Games is one of the biggest game companies worldwide with entire teams to analyze new champions before they're released, put them into a beta stage, fix them again, yet there are still bi-monthly updates to overhaul many champions, even years after their release. Everything is always rebalanced - everything! - based on the community's feedback. No complex game can ever be 100% balanced - ever - and Era's poor pricing system (more expensive = more stats -??-) doesn't help the case at all. |

I really want to know Apple thinks about this as well. I'll go ahead and do the same and do some research

I'm on Richards side on this
I actually think this counts as major fraud since your not actually getting what you paid for. |
