Author’s note: I’ve had plenty of people let me know that these games are in fact available on Google’s own Play Store. Oh the irony. Rather than edit the whole angle of this article, I’ll just say that this is quite funny. Since Google’s Play Store is such a little part of my life (I never use it outside of emulation/retro handheld reviews), that totally passed me by. All my apologies for not checking things better before posting this one! That is 100% on me. Instead try to read over it with an angle of “…you’re better to play these from F-droid than Play Store”…! Oh, okay. So basically this was just something they shit out and published without due diligence. Why share this, then?

So funny to see your name pop up here! I was just looking at a few reports for your comment in the mod-queue where you made the reference to Magda Goebbels when discussing the death of the co-founder of Ubisoft. Seems people weren’t thrilled with that! And here you slide, still just as nasty. Why share this, then? Because it is a subject I care about? Oh I’m so sorry, did I make an error then apologize for it? Gardiner, myself and occasionally a couple others write articles about things we love, or believe to be important, or care about. We’re not a organization, we’re not a major site. I don’t get paid. We don’t run ads. It literally costs money to have people read the things we write, but we write things like this because we love them. I am just explaining this because you seem to think there needs to be a reason to write an article on a topic I enjoy. Have you got some articles you have written, so you can show me how it is done? Oh, okay. So basically this was just something they shit out and published without due diligence. Kindly fuck off. And in fact consider this a warning to behave in this community. I spent time on this, you can see I’ve chatted about it in the comments here, it was not ‘shit out’. Keep rule # 2 in mind going forward.
