This is a little off topic but is really 'grinding my gears'. Transformers Legends is a mobile game which I play on Android (I believe it is also available for iOS devices). It is a trading card game based in the Transformers universe. The idea of the game is to assemble a virtual 'deck' of virtual 'cards' representing various Transformers characters. All good, up to this point. It is an enjoyable casual game which doesn't demand a very large time commitment, and is easy to play and put down. As with any 'free' mobile game the publisher has decided to make a living from micro-transactions within the game. Again nothing strange here, except when we come to the prices..

Oh look, a chance to buy a high spec card at a reduced price! |

Ah, we need 6000 'Mobacoin' to buy the cards, that's ok, the game is enjoyable, lets support the developer this time. |

WHAT THE! £39.99 and I won't even have enough 'Mobacoin'??? That's right, over £40 for 3 DIGITAL trading cards!
I can't be the only one who thinks this is utterly ridiculous, such a large amount of money for 3 pieces of digital artwork. I can only hope that any parents who let their children use this game have not left their payment details on the device inadvertently!

Totally agree, this is a crazy price to pay!!
