        Hey look, it costs money to add mobile games and split everything into a bunch of tiers and add restrictions other stupid shit.

        Turning a simple and effecting streaming service into a pile of shit isn’t free!

          Theirngaming business is absolutelynin the toilet too. No one plays that. No one wants that.

          If they want to make games fine, just put them on Xbox and Playstation, not this weird streaming nonsense.

          “Why didn’t short-term profits from job cuts and price hikes lead to long-term growth?”
