miskValve bans all Steam games that force players to watch advertisements
MeldrikThey should do the same on the Play and App Store.
There’s even games where you can pay to remove ads, but it will still ask you if you wanna watch an ad to get a bonus or some shit. Fuck that.
ShadowRamThis is exactly why I don't play games on mobile.
I absolutely don't have the time to wade through that shit.
about a year ago, I was like, "It'd be nice to have a few mindless games on my phone"... tried like four... just ADS ADS ADS...
Even the ones where I liked the game, and wanted to just remove the ad bullshit for a price... nothing...
andrew_bidlawGooglePlay search favors popular trash, but there and on F-Droid you can still find some fun ones without ads. Searching from outside, like on a regular web search engine or lemmy\reddit subs for free games may help. I don’t mind piracy but I was glad to obtain Antimine and Mindustry. Also, there are ways to block internet or patch apps, but they usually imply you have root and may break things if not careful.
Idk about iPhone apps, but I’m sure the first solution would work too and the second means jailbreaking thus cutting off most of their praised ecosystem.
