South Park pokes fun at freemium mobile games
Trey Parker and Matt Stone set their sights on free-to-play mobile games in the latest episode of South Park, skewering predatory game design tactics in the process. Titled "Freemium Isn't Free" (okay, that's maybe a little bit too self-referential, guys) the episode explores the creative process behind the addictive mobile game Terrance & Phillip: Give Us Your Money, which attempts to ensnare users through a combination of fake currency and flattery. It's ... surprisingly accurate, actually. Watch and think carefully about your next purchase in Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.
