Definitely disappointing Gameloft would see fit to abuse IAPs so painfully. The nephews don't have the password for the account, and that's no accident.

Rather a pity it turned out to need to be so "social", too - I'd been hoping that'd be wholly optional, as with Animal Crossing. (Which I admit, I carried on playing with pretty much every night, before going to sleep, for a year or so. Very calming way of winding down)
