Not GTA, not Star Citizen, not any game with actual gameplay, story, or anything like that.

Just a freaking Niantic reskin for freaking Monopoly.

I live in the wrong timeline.

I'm hardly "off the grid", but I've managed to get enough distance between my eyeballs and the fire hose of ads not to see it more than tangentially, while pocking around the Google Play store.

I do pity anyone who doesn't have the kind of tech-friendly elders willing/able to scrub all the bloatware off their retail devices, though. Had to spent an hour de-contaminating my mom's new Samsung because of all the random extra adware packed into it. And with newer mainline devices, it feels like a constant struggle. Heaven help anyone on Windows 11.

    I’m the one who my friends turn to for tech advice and omg I am so horrified that some of them never installed an adblocker before. Or just leave preinstalled garbage like mcafee around…

    A lot of the modern devices make uninstalling a pain in the ass. Especially if its native bloatware that's been bundled with the OS.
