That’s what you get when you let managers and the sales teams decide what games to develop and what features they should have. Hint: it has nothing to do with trying to squeeze out every cent your fans have.

There’s actually a game option that let’s you censor them. I heard they built it in because one of the developers has arachnophobia. :)

You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder?

Not sure about burned, but it took me waaaay to long to figure out that I should brown the chicken (considerably). I used to just cook it until it was done, but without the browning. It was OK but tasteless basically. But just letting it sit on high heat and letting it brown, what an eye opener that was.

Thanks for the tip!

Oh yeah sure! The games from Baby Bus are alright, and there are some dino games which teach you programming. All very good, but as soon as an ad appears, 9 times out of 10 it’s one of those crappy, slapped together in a day, Unity games filled to the brim with ads itself. Showing characters from popular franchises (like Marvel, and most likely not paid for), and my kid goes “dad, I want that one”. Now I have Family Link installed so I have to allow everything he wants to download or pay for, but geez there’s so much junk on there.

I’d be sort of OK with the CEOs statement, if they did any sort of moderation on those predatory games aimed at kids. But alas.

Now I’m going to do it even harder!

I’ve tried downloading some of the games that are on the Play Store for my kids, and by God those apps are cancerous. An ad every 30 seconds and the games are made purely with getting the players to become addicted in mind. Get off your fucking high horse Pichai.

Yeah, it kind of does, but I liked it!

I read “great actor” 😬

Ah, glad it wasn’t just me who thought 1 & 2 were better than 3. 😅

“… in 2003 the company had been allowed an “effective corporate tax rate” of just 1% on its European profits and just 0.005% in 2014.”

That’s insane…

He also tries.

It was a mimic.

Good guy!

NFTs! 😅

I had the same with Amazon and an Espresso machine. Got the box, it was beat up, missing Styrofoam, missing manual and damage to the appliance itself. But I also paid full price. Sent it back directly, got my money back and never ordering from them again.
