Parent is right though. Tech, computing power, software, OSes etc have advanced enormously. And yet, run 20..30y+ old game on emulator often gives more satisfaction than ad-riddled, bloated modern incarnations. Pathetic! And still many people put up with the latter. Ok I can understand a big mobile game on which a whole team of developers worked over a year, needs funding. And ad-supported is how it's done these days. But Tetris? A simple chess game or breakout clone? Come on... Never mind that if [funding to create games] were a goal, then "open source, or at least remove ads once creation cost have been recouped" should be considered. Ever seen a (big) mobile game developer do that?
