However, if you an adult, and you have purchased $100s of iAP, and now you feel bad about it, I have 0 sympathy for you.
Overall, this is just EU being EU, nothing surprising.
This is silly. At the end of the day, game developers need to get paid for their effort and time spent. The days of $49 boxed games are over (on mobile). The iAP model is proven again and again across different platforms and the majority of the top grossing apps are following it. It costs money to develop games and apps. A quality title might cost over a million dollars in development. What makes the consumer believe…

I don't think anybody was saying that games should be free or that iAPs are about to be illegal. But labeling something "free" that isn't really "free" is misleading customers.

Are apps without iAPs but with ads to be considered 'free'?
Companies will find a different name ... and go on with the same business model. Just a naming game ... no real progress, yet. Clever companies will always find ways, to fool not so clever people. I also think, that most people know, that F2P is not really free.
well I'd rather force abusers into mental gymnastics than allow them to outright lie this could also highlight apps that are truley free

Although I'm cynical enough to not expect this, things could be partitioned into "grant access to people with no payment on file" and "need payment on file to download this app".
