2011-01-17 21:07:37 Matthew Paul Thomas summary (READ PLEASE) "Cards" for buying in Ubuntu Software Center Can't buy software without a credit/debit card (e.g. with pre-pay cards)
2011-01-17 21:07:37 Matthew Paul Thomas description Binary package hint: software-center PLEASE READ THIS. It's an important suggestiom... With the Mac App Store, some important developers will port they apps for PC platforms, and Rovio is looking at ubuntu and it software center, to put angry birds on it But, they will not trust on it, if there's difficult to buy something, will be possible, to do a comercial pruppose? Something like iTunes cards Cards with 15/20/50 €/$/¥ to buy apps/music without a credit card...... For example, young people without a credit card can't buy an app, for example, World Of Goo, if I can't have a credit card, I can't buy it, but I can buy a "Ubuntu Card" to use it with my ubuntu one account, and buy music, and apps I think we can get better support, and MORE BUYERS, if we can get this... Please report this to the canonical team... Thanks....
