Super Mario Run is surrounded by controversy and bad reviews on the App Store

Super Mario Run

The custom of not paying. There are more and more applications that we find in the AppStore and that are "free", although it is already known, when you do not pay for a product, it is because the product is you. In this case and despite the fact that we've been talking about the details of Super Mario Run for weeks, It seems that there were many users who were not yet aware of the fact that Super Mario Run is not freeYou could only enjoy its first three levels if you didn't get the full version for no less than € 10, an integrated purchase that has displeased many and created confusion on the networks, causing endless negative scores.

And in the header photo we can find many of these reviews that uninformed iOS users have been pouring on the game in recent days. We are not going to go into discerning whether the € 10 per user is worth it (since you cannot take advantage of the Family shopping system), but the fact that people complain because it is not totally free. We are facing a unique video game, a Super Mario, without any type of advertising embedded in the application, so as a general rule, the world works by paying people for their work, and Nintendo's job is to create video games, hence, you have to pay € 10 for the full version of Super Mario Run, The first three levels of the game are nothing more than a Demo with the sole intention of letting everyone try the game before buying it (or catching them in it, depending on how you look at it).

The case to be debated is whether or not it is ethical to complain or give a bad score to a video game just because it is not free, and my point of view is a clear no on this. On the other hand, we must be critical of the company and mention that they have used the classic technique of snatching the candy from our mouths. However, paying for a mobile video game is no different than paying for a drink at the bar downstairs, especially when all the media echoed the price of the game for weeks.
