    Geez! This is certainly making step back and re-think what a free-to-play game is! :eek:

    I can seriously picture his father choking him like Homer did to Bart! lolz

    There are far better things to waste $45,000 on than a stupid iOS game. Especially a 15 year old using their parent's credit card.

    This is one of those stories where you really want a followup, because you want to be assured that his mother took his "I didn't know I was spending real money on the credit card details I stole and explicitly linked to my iTunes account" excuse, and threw it in a burlap sack with him and a pile of bricks on a fantastic journey to the bottom of the Marianas trench.

    I'd like to know just how wealthy the parents had to be in order to have a $46,700-or-higher credit limit on that card in the first place.

    Why is it that whenever this happens it happens on an IOS device?

    What happens on an iOS device stays on an iOS device?

    But seriously, that kid needs a flogging.
