News & Reviews:   in-app purchases

Netflix has been pushing for a different take with its Netflix Games service, offering access to big titles like GTA. Unfortunately, few users play the 86 games on the platform. And Netflix clearly wants to make money from it, so there are plans for changes.

It looks like Apple had started a purge on the App Store before 2020 ends. Today, the news came reporting that the tech giant has removed more than 46,000 apps in total from their China store, and 39,000 of them are unlicensed games by Chinese authorities.

Although some games are labelled free-to-play in the app stores, they will still be offering in-app purchases for users to enjoy extra benefits. Earlier this week, Apple had faced a lawsuit filed by a woman who overspent in a gambling game called "Jackpot Mania". The lawsuit claims that Apple “promotes, enables, and profits” from gambling games on the App Store.
