I will say I find the inconsistency in whether a game will obey the physical Silent switch on iOS to be annoying at times. I'll know I have my volume turned up but oh, this game is being silent because Silent is on. At the very least that should be an option.

While I'm on the Silent gripe, mild tangent, but Facebook on Android refusing to follow the Notifications volume and instead following the Ringtone volume is one of the shittiest pieces of UX I have to deal with daily.

I'm confident it's intentional at this point - they probably A/B tested alternatives and realised this gives them the highest engagement.

Oh, it's painfully obvious that it's intentional, and that's what makes it truly infuriating. I can tolerate a genuine mistake from a developer, no biggie, we're all human, yadda yadda, I *cannot* tolerate Zuckerborg condescendingly ignoring my own decisions and autonomy with my device and asserting that his stupid app is more important than anything else in my life at any given moment.

Gaming with friends online.

1. Upon first open of the game, turn the music volume to off or 10%.

2. Make any other game noise 30% max.

3. Enjoy being able to play and hear game, while also being able to hear friends on Mumble at reasonable volume.
