Do you make "in-app purchases" ? Why/not ?

BMW is going all-in on in-car microtransactions

Like in-app purchases, but for your car

No, because I am cheap like that.

I used to be addicted to some games, and I would make purchases. Then I saw the credit card bill, and I don't play those games anymore. I avoid in app purchases on almost everything now.

No, I do not use apps that need payment and wouldn't use them if they did.

Would never use in app for mission critical things like a car. For games, sometimes. My Prius offers subscription services and upgrades for a price. Not interested.

That's pretty outrageous. I suppose if you have to have the status symbol and can afford all the bells and whistles too, they figure they have one on the hook.

I edited the post to add (hypothetical).

"they figure they have one on the hook" is kinda true for all 'in-app" purchases.
