Kickass, Google. Maybe now Gun Bros will stop running as a process, always, just to tell me their ridiculously overpriced War Bucks are on sale.

That's what you get for downloading a free app instead of paying for it. Developer has to make money someway.

Considering how popular the game is/was, they would have made plenty of money off of the Warbucks anyway.

That's an excuse. Apps don't develop themselves.

They don't, but a small game like Gun Bros doesn't require the extortionist prices that they have the Warbucks at.
