Apple TV is the only box that does everything. Even my Roku can’t play HBO Max. It’s not Google, runs Linux technically, and so far passed the wife test.

I was a Roku user for years until they started randomly installing new "channels" from paid advertisers. That week I bought a Chromecast. Now I'm transitioning to Apple TV.

That might explain the stupid game that magically showed up on mine. Talk about a short sighted money grab. Owning the interface on a TV has to be worth a ton of long term value which is going to settle around $0 if they pull crap like that (at least from me).
