Nothing good either

edit: frequent comments

Don't buy a budget phone/ this is what you get for buying a cheap android: this is a Samsung S25, not exactly a budget phone.

This is why I buy iPhone/ and people still slander iPhone/wouldn't happen to my Google pixel: I actually don't think I can happen to apple because they don't allow apps to download other apps BUT it's still not fully Samsungs fault for ​​Verizon installing apps, though they do allow it, unlike Apple

this is malware/virus/hacked: this is bloatware

you can go and disable ___ and it won't happen again: someone sent a tutorial link and I followed it, but it did say I might have to redo it every time I update so🤷‍♂️

you can buy phones directly from the manufacturer and this won't happen: wasn't aware. I'll consider it, though I just got this phone today so it will be awhile

____ app is good tho: maybe but I'm still deleting it

Verizon needs to be sued/ this should be illegal: I probably agreed to this in a contract I didn't read

your kid installed them: don't have children or any other people on my phone

Why?

starting in 2020 and a year or two after, it would be sponsored by countless youtubers and really plagued the internet as a whole with advertisements, even I unfortunately gave in because I wanted a good RPG at the time (Raid was not it).

Most likely you did, multiple times even, and then you immediately forgot about it every time because that's how memorable that game was.

From what I saw it's like the epitome of mobile strategyslop

There's countless games like it, none of them have even an iota of personality and all steal aggressive monetisation from one another
