Has App Store mentality led to cheaper click wheel iPod games?

One of the unfortunate side effects of the iTunes App Store is that it’s spoiling the chirrens. If a game costs anything more than…free…the product comments area will be full of people whining and sniveling about how the app is overpriced. It got so bad that Apple had to limit the number of people who review an app to those who have actually, you know, used it. But if you’re not afraid or embarrassed to click on that “iPod Games” link in the iTunes store, do so now to read some customer reviews. I’ll wager that the majority of the comments are complaints that $4.99 is too much to pay for a game. I know times are bad right now, but come on! $4.99? You’re hard pressed to get a meal at McDonald’s for $4.99 these days.
