      Don’t play their free games, either. Your time counts as money.

        Yes but it’s not their money. Playing the free games might add to their monthly active user metric, but they don’t run their business on MAUs.

            are you saying theyve got some way to monetize gaming itself? afaik the free games are supposed to get people to download their launcher and hopefully stick around, same as the bought exclusives. if you dont buy, they lose money

              No. Their malware “launcher” is literally vibe-coded to collect data in every way possible, and using it for just free games is still filling their coffers. ☝🏼

              Just, don’t. 🤷🏼‍♂️
