It seems my monkeyboy wants to go into business for himself, something about Mama being too cheap to buy Skylanders for the WII. Has anyone checked out their marketing strategy??? They are clever tricky little marketeers.
You first invest in the starter deck for the game which is about 10-20 % higher than the purchase price of a game and then to play the game and pass certain levels, the player needs certain characters. If you want to unlock areas or play extra levels, the player again needs certain characters. Said characters are pricey. So not only do you pay the one time fee for the game, but it's an ongoing gouging they've managed to turn into a racket.
The problem is, mama really likes the game and I've been waging a self-control battle not purchasing the stupid waste of money so he's been crafting ways to make money. He wrote up a contract for a lemonade /junk food stand and gave it to me:
"Dear Mama and Papa
This is a contract of our agreement of $25 starting fee. Please sign here ____________, _____________. Thank you for your support (may include more loans if low business rates). This contract cannot be changed without authorization, Papa will have NO authorization because of his unfairness. "
