So now it's not just limited to those oem packages where you need to remove garbage that asks for more money, now they'll include a freemium game that will try to get people to pay real money for virtual currency on a clean install of Windows. Get ready to open powershell to remove them for all users so they don't remain on your hdd too.
So is this the kind of thing we can expect from a free version of windows, being forced to install paid promotional garbage like this freemium game Candy Crush?
What is a freemium game you might ask, and you're too lazy to search for it?
quote:Freemium is a pricing strategy by which a product or service (typically a digital offering or application such as software, media, games or web services) is provided free of charge, but money (premium) is charged for proprietary features, functionality, or virtual goods.
They're very common on smartphones for the few people reading this that don't already own one.
