      Step 1: Add ads into [insert app of choice here] that are really annoying

      Step 2: Make people pay to get rid of them. Bonus points if it’s a subscription

      Step 3: People hate your app but it’s the one that’s installed by default so they use it anyway

      Step 4: Profit

        The fact that this business model earns moneu rather than car bombs annoys me.

      It’s not really micro transactions as much as it is a monthly subscription to remove ads.

        Its fucking solitaire you can play the old version from windows 95 online for free. This is beyond fucking stupid.

          If that satisfies you then all the power to you.

            Real question, why wouldn’t the win95/xp version satisfy someone? Isn’t it the same thing with simpler graphics?

              I can’t speak for other people, I don’t even play solitaire. Realistically, I imagine most people get new PCs with newer Windows versions and play whatever solitaire is on there.

            Im a Utilitarian to a fault, of course I think the windows 95 version is just as valid. I wear everything down to scrap.
