And as usual, these are not free, they only use being "free" as a marketing strategy. A scam does not stop being a scam because it's "free". You're actively participating in sharing scammy apps. And for quite a while.

Free Video Game Giveaways

This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!)
Please don't repost stuff that's already been posted or stuff that breaks feddit.uk rules (i.e. don't be a dick!)

Just noticed. The app was dropped price to zero. But said it contained ads. It's not the premium ad free versions, it's the ad versions that have had their price dropped to zero. Not for me, thanks.
My very first line addresses that they contain shady practices, we're all adults here and I'd hope people use some judgement when deciding what to download.
You don't have to like this kind of game and it's fine to downvote if you think they're all shit, but please don't come in here with this kind of aggressive comment. A polite question about what kind of posts we want in the community is much nicer than accusing someone of being some kind of scam-peddler.
It's not like it's the first time I'm addressing you sharing these scam games. And I was very far from aggressive. I politely pointed out that these are scammy games which you share regularly for many months now.
I have no idea what part of my comment seems aggressive, I'm simply stating the facts. In a very calm manner, I might add.
An unexpected message in my inbox saying "You're actively participating in sharing scammy apps" sounds pretty aggressive to me. I'm not some employee who owes you a curated service, I'm just a rando posting free games I happen to find because I hope it might make someone happy to play them. Have a think about how accusations like that make others feel because people question why they bother making an effort if this is the kind of feedback they receive.
Anyway, I'm always happy to have a friendly discussion about what sort of thing people want to see posted here if you've got suggestions.
