  1. Similar example on a smaller scale: I have been playing Candy Crush Saga for at least 6 years on my tablet. I never registered an account with them, never made in-app purchase, but I did let it play adverts (to the ceiling) when I wanted the extras to carry on. The game had some glitches, sometimes my ageing tablet rebooted the apps so I lost progress of that one level, and even if I won a level and THEN the tablet rebooted apps, I still lost that victory, the game didn't register that progress... Recently I noticed I had to wait more minutes for another life, the game asked for more coins to get extra moves... it seemed to put more extra hard levels one after another... nothing made me quit (or pay) until... I had loaded several timed bonuses, I watched two stupid Temu ads to get extra 2+3 moves, made one move and suddenly I lost the game, with another life available in 20 minutes. The second move would win the game to me. You know what I did. No more CCS in my tablet. I went cold turkey on it, playing something else instead, no more ads, no crap. Just a game. CCS didn't crack me to pay it a single cent/penny over those 6+ years but they had revenue from me via ads. No more.
