Seems like not to be a discount on games, but rather on in app purchases of "free" games.

I am really sick of the IAP games; Before this new trend I had bought many games, but now it feels like I'm not spending much on games, at least normal apps don't pull this crap. I actually actively looked for a way to buy all the "add-ons" for one of these games at once (instead of as needed) and when I failed i just gave the whole system a big "fuckit" and now make a point to not support this terrible practice. If devs want to do this they should at least offer a paid version of their program for those of us who prefer it (instead of selling me "silly-dollers" for real USD just make the things cost some other resource that i produce in the game, or unlock all of the locked IAP goodies for a 1-time fee). Sorry, just wanted to vent, and I know it is a bit off topic.

I guess, nice if you already play the game and are the type to make purchases inside the game. But for most, I'd say a big disappointment. But maybe something big will happen on Monday there.

I agree with the rant. I have to keep my child's IPAD on lock even though it is only tied to some low;y Itunes credit. My brain doesn't work fast enough to sort out all the crap. And is certainly designed to trap a small kid. Yes, it is teaching a bad lesson. It teaches wastefulness.
