So, I have a "free" solitaire game on my phone only it throws up an advertisement for a different game every time you ask for a new game. One of the advertisements boast, "ADDICTIVE!" like that's a good thing? Yeah, let me get addicted to a game, that sounds great! Huh? Why not just use the "milder" phrase "Habit forming", we all love that one too don't we?

I hate, so called "free" apps. Working around the advertising is very distressing to me too.
