I saw that there’s now a mobile version of Roller Coaster Tycoon (Roller Coaster Tycoon Touch) and I thought it might be fun (one of the Netflix bundled mobile games). A couple of hours of casual play in, it was clear that the game was carefully designed to make it progressively harder and harder to make progress without in-app purchases.

@EUCommission , if you want to actually make things safer online, how about making that kind of predatory practice illegal? Children are particularly vulnerable, but so are a lot of adults. No need for age verification, just an outright ban.

So sad to see a such a respected game series used for this kind of whale farming.

Can web developers stop fucking with scroll bars please? No website is so beautiful that it justifies losing the ability to see how far the page scrolls down. I don't give two shits about your design vision.
