One Of The Most Beautiful iPhone Games Ever Gets Flooded With Terrible Reviews After It Starts Charging $2
The issue isn't with the quality of the game, according to Touch Arcade, but with the game's new expansion, which costs $1.99.
Monument Valley, which won an Apple Design Award this year, has you responsible for guiding the lost Princess Ida through a gorgeous environment of winding structures filled with impossible geometry and hidden passageways.

The game has received mostly five-star reviews, but Monument Valley fans started freaking out when they discovered the game's expansion, "Forgotten Shores," which offers eight new chapters, costs $1.99, even though the expansion almost doubles the size of the game.
Angry fans have now began flooding the App Store with one-star reviews.

This doesn't really make sense considering that Monument Valley never promised the expansion would be free, and the new chapters are still half as expensive as the game itself, which costs $3.99.
The creators of Monument Valley, ustwo games, took to Twitter to discuss the odd behavior, which was then picked up by Touch Arcade and Daring Fireball's John Gruber.
The most confusing part of all of this is the double standard expected by Monument Valley's fans.
