Capcom’s Smurf Crisis Could Lead To Tighter App-Buying Controls

Thanks to some high-profile complaints over the free game’s laughably costly in-app item purchases and an apparent high level of return and refund requests, Apple may go so far as reducing the iTunes app-buying time from its current 15-minute window once signed in. [PocketGamer]
