The game better be free. I'm not paying to see ads. No chance. I'll find a copy on the high seas that has that bullshit removed.

It may not be, because no amount of money is ever enough for a wealthy neoliberal. You could pay $200 in pure profit for a game and there will still be slimy executives saying "We could make that $201 if we showed them ads and $202 if we sold their data"
