Newsflash: If you are a game company this is a feature not a bug.

Also, if you want to get into a mobile game dark pattern try this:

- 100 coins 0.99, 550 coins $6.99

After you buy 100 coins pricing switches to:

- 100 coins 1.49, 550 coins $6.99

Usually you have mechanics like that with pseudo currency, not actual $ because it is too obvious. But understand their are no accidents in pricing at that level of development.
