Just links to predatory microtransaction crap.
I am quite sure a human never bothered to look over or curate any of this, it is just algorithmically generated crap that boosts whatever scam pays out the most back to the play store.
The amount of damage that google has done to the growth of mobile gaming is unfathomable (in terms of growth and improvement not how big and complex the casinos pretending to be video games are).
Google needs to have their stranglehold over android smashed.
Day before black friday: free to play
Black Friday: $60 free to play.
Hot take: mobile gaming is micro transaction crap.
Definitely but that isn’t something inherent to gaming on a phone.
There are occasional actually good paid games on mobile but they get hopelessly buried, there is no reason it has to be this way though, this is a result of atrocious, catastrophic failure to steward a platform and ecosystem.
It is, which is why I check on darkpattern.games when finding a new one.
In a similar vein, Slice and Dice is on mobile and well worth it in my opinion.
Well, you’re talking about google, of course no humans are involved anywhere.
Oh there are but they are squished inside mechanical turks in countries you have never heard of doing the most inane or shocking things (or both) over and over again for horrendous wages to keep the dream of whatever “smart” “ai” nonsense tech companies are currently selling alive but yes… I don’t disagree with the thrust of your point here, you are right at a fundamental level.
