You what, Microsoft

It has a little ads window on the side, and has Pay To Win or Watch Ad to continue. It also takes 235 MB of disk, full CPU core and 500 MB of RAM. Darn, Minesweeper for Windows 3.0 running on 8088 IBM PC didn't take all CPU resources.

@nina_kali_nina this is so weird . . . subscribe for one free continue every game ? it's, it's minesweeper, what's the point,

Public

@k4gi this way you can get the experience that you need for the daily quest goals 😣

Public

@k4gi and you need daily quest goals to unlock the achievements, and you need to unlock the achievements to unlock the skins, including the "retro" Minesweeper skin. Don't worry, even retro skin is JS and shows ads if you don't pay for subscription.

Some of the comments on Store say that on bigger boards the ads might cover the board.

🤦

@nina_kali_nina @k4gi what a strange way to go for a game that was just intended to get people used to the practice of right-clicking as well as left-clicking

Public

@nina_kali_nina at least they're a little more honest than the games that say "watch a video" when they mean an ad

Public

@aburka also tfw buying a new deck of cards for solitaire every month is cheaper than paying for Windows Solitaire subscription

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt look how they massacred my boy...

Public

@nina_kali_nina This is so cursed in every way that I think I'd kill it from Task Manager just so I didn't have to click on anything in that window.

@nina_kali_nina

@nina_kali_nina This abomination must be exterminated.
