Should we include mobile games too?

Some mobile games, though also offers IAP, allows users to purchase items (e.g. coins) from other sources, including other digital wallet apps and even convenience stores. Should we also include these kind of apps into the list?

  • Games would have less of an impact with most people (I'm guessing. Still seeming frivolous to people, and scammy/shady/trying to trick children into racking up large debts)
  • Do you mean e.g. a Spotify gift card from the super market? This gets into a grey area

I think it would muddle the issue. I vote to keep the current types of apps. Clearer message

I think the common denominator among (many) of the examples is apps that generally only confront users with the option to "Login" and nothing else.

I know we've got a few in there that don't 100% fit, so I don't think we need to be super dogmatic about it. And, I think I'd be more compelled by games that simply don't work, similar to Hey, without something web- or IRL-based already set up.
