In what seems to becoming a weekly occurrence, yet another child has run up a huge bill via free to play games on Itunes.
The child in this case, a male aged 13, managed to run up a staggering £3000 + bill on his fathers credit card. The child downloaded more than 300 extras for free to play games. The boy claims to have not known that all these extras incurred charges to his fathers credit card. The father of the child has accused Itunes of ”duping” his son.
A welcome change that should open the door for remote game streaming
So this tells me all along it was because of apple that steam was becoming strict with its allowable content. But now that steam stop the practice of censorship and policing content. apple wants nothing to do with them. Well I say good job steam, tell apple to go eat a dick.
Didn’t read the story, did you.
“The change does not void Apple’s long-standing policy that no iOS app may host an app store of its own and allow users to purchase and download software not approved through its own marketplace.”
Many companies have this policy. Apple updated their terms for a possible solution that still allows them to protect iOS, themselves, and their customers.
...Why would Apple have anything to do with Steam policy?
. Steam owner Valve said last week Apple had initially rejected Steam Link, which lets consumers access and stream their PC game library onto a mobile device, due to apparent “business” conflicts.
I did but my comprehension must be lacking. I assumed that this sudden move by apple had to do with steams own policy of letting adult games in their store. Which conflicts with Apple's own policy against it. Hence not being allowed to stream steams library of games on their ios.
What is listed above is a “long-standing policy” which would cover “apparent “business” conflicts” as the way Steam Link works breaks that policy. Again, many platform holders such as Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo don’t want companies selling their goods outside of the network stores.
The white whale for a ton of our readers has been BioShock on iOS. Sure, it released back in 2014, but it disappeared from the App Store after only a few months due to incompatibilities with iOS 8.4 and later. And despite promises that it would be fixed, 2K never got around to fixing. And according
After how they threw out the pc verson of the remaster this doesnt not surprise me at all
There is a remaster for pc, I own it. It was actually a free upgrade added automatically to my steam account.
8 down votes? Does no one remember how bad the remaster was at launch I know it was a free upgrade but it didn't even work for some people on PC it took massive complaints before they released a patch because they said they weren't going to patch it
Apple are the worst .... My iPod touch 4 Is useless thanks to no updates for the past 3 years .... I understand as things get older you can't support them forever , but this was dumped like a hot potato 2 years after I bought it ... .... Man I paid $299 for it .... It should be supported imo
Tennis In The Face stars a hasbeen former professional tennis player named Pete Pagassi who is out for revenge on the people who ended his career. In many ways Tennis In The Face follows on quite nicely from one of 10tons other games, the equally bonkers King Oddball, as it’s also a physics based puzzler with huge dollop of humour.
How can anyone run up a bill of £3000 and not notice?!!
is this the new "go-to" story now, seems like every week we get at least one new story about a kid spending an ungodly amount of money on a "free" game.
It's a trap!!
The kid didn't know, yet he knew he needed his dad's credit card?
You can't be that stupid, dad. I think you just can't wring the little monster's neck and get your money back.
Technically the vendor should refund the money since (at least in my country) a Kid under 16 cannot agree to contracts that aren't 'necessities' without parental/guardian permission. Every time you buy something on the web/app store you agree to a statement, that's the contract.
