Thats fine with me too. Ads are there to serve a purpose I get it, for free shit. Make my pay for something and put ads in it? Fuck right off.

It is all free, you will own nothing, and it will always be pay to play. It is the future. You will be inundated with ads and love it. Gaming becomes just another capitalistic hellscape where you pay for an extra life and in-game shiny shoes while they cram ads down your throat.

Microslop can self-serve its own crummy ass to its dumb fucking face. This company is speed running economic suicide on all fronts since going all in on 'AI' vaporware snakeoil pitched by actually developmentally challenged oligarchs propped up by nepotism and overfinancialization. Sad.
