I enjoy the game Plants vs. Zombies.
Several years ago I bought the game but after several laptop rebuilds it was gone.
I saw that it was on sale for less than $10.00 so I bought it again.

This time around the installation included a toolbar for Explorer, the creation of an account at Pogo, and a launcher that requires a web page to open before the game will start. That is right, before the non-browser based game can be played a browser window has to open, fill with ads, and then the game launches.

I immediately uninstalled everything and wrote Pogo telling them that they can go to hell.

Since signing up for the service I've received 1/2 dozen emails and I've indicated at least three times that I want to unsubscribe from all/any newsletters. I'm still getting these things - the unsubscribe isn't working and probably never did work.

This sort of nonsense combined with micro-transactions, pay-to-win, and other annoying features is driving me from gaming. I simply want to be able to buy and game and not have the entire freakin' company downloaded to my computer, launching 1/2 dozen processes, tracking me all over the internet and sending me coupons for wool turtle neck sweaters.

DIE IN A FIRE.
