Glu Mobile has a game on the iPhone called Gun Bros. Itās an arcade shooter, Iāve played it, itās pretty fun. Itās also, sadly, one of a litany of games that are free to download then gimped so you have to pay/play for weeks for the upgrades necessary to advance.
Which is fine if you like that kind of business model! And if you do like it, maybe youāll be stupid enough to buy The Kraken, a powerful in-game weapon.
For $500.
Thatās $500 in real dollars.
Whatās best/worst is that the gun used to cost $200. Before Glu kicked it up a notch.
The world is full of idiots. We should use games like this to help us find them, and somehow punish them. Starting with the kid in the video above.
