I hardly ever play on my mobile, the market of games I enjoy is saturated with 'free games' that you can buy to get rid of the ads. Which however are completely designed around the ads. 'Watch this ad for 30 more gold' , or shit like that. In other words completely and utterly pay to win, because instead of ads you can just pay for the gold with ingame currency that is ridiculously overpriced in relation to what the ad money would have been. And in order to compensate: more ads.

Guess what, I lost joy. We live in a capitalist hellscape. Nowhere is that more clear than in Google play store.
