Has anyone gotten an ad where it forces you to go to the Play Store before you can close it?

Too many times and it’s deadass infuriating

Who came up with the idea and why is it allowed?

I don’t know but they should be imprisoned for wasting a genuinely illegal amount of time

It's like those fake ads, it shouldn't be a thing.

Real

Like, maybe I don't want your game cause it's another stupid footage of some homeless lady and her child needing the player to solve puzzles to repair a house they're staying in cause it's cold out which has absolutely nothing to do with the actual game. Not because I can't find the download page.

Nor do I want another clone of some game what a lady walks on a path and I have to collect the right things, but they change the theme a bit. It just makes the whole thing more annoying.

Then there’s unique games like Toribash
You rarely hear about it, but it’s absolutely PEAK, and afaik it’s completely ad-free on the (extremely recent) mobile version

There just aren’t enough games like that in the world sadly :(

What happened to the era of stuff like Angry birds? Why are quite a few of the recent games kinda just reskins of each other or, well, goon material?

OMG, TORIBASH! I remember finding videos about that!

Yessirrr
One of the best in my opinion, even if it has a very limited reach

almost all the time
⏯️Google Play

When will it occur to them that people don't want to be forced into getting a game they don't want?

like if I were going to download it, I'd already do it without needing to be forced into play store

I would've had the game by now if I wanted it.

ive seen a shopee ad where it forces me to go to the shopee website before i can close
