Has anybody else had this happen:  you go into the Clan section and right as you’re about to click on the button to start playing Rovio pops an ad up to buy gems etc and the $99 button is right there where you were about to click on the Clan button?

Luckily, you have to confirm the purchase, because it’s suspiciously easy to accidentally click on that $99 button since it very quickly pops up right in front of where you click to start the Clan activity.

Rovio might want to read up on the many laws against deceptive business practices because it’s that kind of thing that could get them into serious legal trouble.  This is pretty much the exact equivalent of a website popping up a button that charges $100 to your credit card when you’re just trying to click the “next page” button.

I’d appeal to Rovio’s ethics if I thought it would make any difference,  but let me instead just appeal to Rovio’s sense of self-preservation.  This is an easily demonstrable attempt to defraud consumers.  If I were Rovio, I’d stop this practice immediately and have the ad button pop up in a safer place— just some neighborly advice.
