1) With Apple, you still buy in-game. Your iTunes account, in this case, basically acts as a debit card, not a store. To say that Apple is selling Mobacoins would be like saying that your credit card company is selling Mobacoins.

2) I was not talking about their evidence. If you read my post again, you will see that I specifically was talking about the information available on this wiki. Perhaps I could have been more clear about that. 1) There is a slight difference in that iTunes is in charge of the sale, whereas with a credit card, the company selling the product is in charge of the sale. Mobage is not in charge of the sale on iTunes. They get whatever Apple collects (and it is important to note that Apple does collect it), minus Apple's fee. This *is* somewhat similar to a credit card in that the credit card company forwards money to the vendor, but in this case, Apple owns iTunes, which is the 'store' that sells Mobacoins. So the line is a bit blurry when it comes to Apple. Apple is the credit card company, but also the store.

2) I was wondering about that, I tried to find that text on this thread and couldn't, I did notice the line between them. Anyway, it is addressed at whomever wrote it then.
