What the fuck happened?

The only good games on phone are now emulators and a few Foss games

        I was ok with the Angry Birds franchise right up until the shitty kart racing game they pumped out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more wretched collection of bare-faced advertising and micro transactions as that fucking piece of shit.

        The game was crammed full of new pop songs, and when one would play the game would display a link to buy it from iTunes. I couldn’t let my kid play it, it was just too egregious.

        Haven’t touched any of those games since. Which is a shame, because I really enjoyed the original.
