    These games should be illegal anyways. They’re basically creating an algorithm that inhibits you to influence you to pay anyways. Not a game with gameplay but an actual business and this is just the business model layered like a game.

      I was looking for some games to pass time in waiting rooms etc and was disappointed to see even Bejeweled has ‘contains ads’ & ‘in-app purchases’ warnings on play store. Why can’t I outright buy it like I already have on Steam?

      Yep. I assume since Candy Crush hasn’t been culturally relevant for like 10 years that it’s on its last leg anyway and this is a desperate attempt to prop up a dying company. Though I’m afraid to check though because I don’t want to see that it’s still posting record profits year after year.
