If you hit “next”, the consent window opens again and if you refuse any of them, you get put back at this screen so you’re stuck in a loop.

This shitty practice is even endorsed by Google, as they are promoting this game to try out and earn points.

Edit: game is called Jewel Gold Empire: Match 3 and it’s from some Korean company it seems: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.penta.empire.google

Obviously I uninstalled it immediately after

    I don’t think I’ve had a mobile game on my phone in 10 years, are there any actual decent ones? They all look so generic.

      Indie PC games that charge money for a mobile port. I have stardew valley, binding of Isaac, balatro, slay the spire, monster train, on my phone. (Several are included with Apple Arcade, though I would definitely not subscribe to Arcade if it weren’t included with my other stuff. Also I personally wouldn’t play stardew or Isaac without a controller.)

      If it’s “free” it’s almost always obscenely abusive. (There are a handful of exceptions, including some open source ones, but I couldn’t name any off the top of my head.)

          I’m not as hooked on it as some. It feels kind of same-y over time, and the “it’s poker” thing doesn’t scratch any of the same itch as regular poker.

          But it’s sure as hell better than almost any “free” mobile game because it doesn’t have a team of people special tailoring algorithms to decide when to cheat to make you win and when to cheat to screw you over in order to pull as much money as possible.

      The only mobile games I play are Luck Be a Landlord, Ascension, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and lately the new Pokémon TCG.

      My favorite of them is Ascension. I love that game so much.

        Ya just generic phone games, I haven’t touched them since jetpack joyride. Actually the last game I played on my phone was pokemon emerald on my ipod touch emulator lol, I’m pretty behind the times.

      I really enjoy Mini Metro. I’ve been addicted to Dots for years, it’s the very best digital fidget.

      I paid for a Need for Speed game some 8 years ago and that was pretty OK for a few hours.

      A Dark Room is also really good.

      That’s about it, to be honest. If you want to pick up a controller, there’s a decent library of older PC or console games that run on phones now - emulators are also an option.
