The Microsoft Jackpot game discussed on page 6 is sickening. Why is Microsoft publishing a shoddy free-to-play slot machine game that offers in-app purchases in $200 increments? It casts a bad light on both their store and their new OS.
- joshstrange 11y agoAlmost as bad as making solitare a subscription game....
- scholia 11y agoWhich it isn't. It's free to play but ad-supported, just like most other free apps downloaded from online stores. Nothing stops you from getting a desktop version, or even retrieving the code from an earlier version of Windows.
- MLR 11y agoIt has an IAP option to remove ads that you don't see unless you're using features which are new to this version of Solitaire. I'd prefer it not to have game play interrupting ads obviously (though frankly I've only used it to play Freecell so I haven't seen them anyway), but trying to paint it as a subscription game is ludicrous.
