So I have bad habits of doing in app purchases because I have a pihole that blocks the ads, so I cannot use the commercials to get power ups or whatever. I do not want to pay Apple for things so I needed to find a way to help me stop paying Apple for things. I wanted to originally fine the address to just block payments to apple from through my pihole, after reading things I found that this would probably block updates and all that and that is not a good thing. So I ended up blocking payments as if I were a freakin child on the devices, I guess I can still do it with the password maybe? Feels a little demeaning but I need to stop myself and making it harder for me to buy power ups or whatever is a good thing.

I also think there will be secrete DST charges, of greater then the 5% or whatever it is, added to in app purchases come the first. The big tech companies will not be happy that they have to pay a retro active sales tax.

    Power ups, was just the best description for things in game currency and stuff like that.

    They got you. A great example for a phone game that is good is Crashlands. There still are some phone games that are not f2p.

    Yes I know they have gotten me, but no more! Adding just one extra step will fix it for me (I hope). I wanted to block the whole App Store first but I do need updates and I have started to do things with my home lab like self hosting.
