Dr Pen<p>I just updated a Win 10 workhorse. On restart I get a desktop ad notification about some game. I uninstalled all the games bloat on the unit about 3 years ago. So aside from the intrusive ad notification, Id like to know why computers default to childish games. Phones too often have gaming bloat. I hate games. I never ever play games (OK I played Eradicator and F1 in about 1998). Why is childish gaming the default?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshittiication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshittiication</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bloat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bloat</span></a></p>
