Did you lose your AirPods?

Yep, you are paying for it. But with Google Android you pay with your privacy and time. And you get terrible support in return.

I've been trying to get a paid game the past days for my kids, a game where you try use bolts to remove wooden planks. It only exists with IAP and/or ads. The ads are terrible and not tailored to children. Nor are all the dark patterns. And you can get rid of the ads. By paying you get rid of them!!.. for 24 hours.

I'd rather pay via App Store or Google Play Store or Steam or whatever. Even a subscription for a month would've been better.

Don't the Play Store and the App Store take exactly the same cut in most cases?

FWIW there is the Google Play Pass which gets you 1000+ games without any ads or the need for additional in-app purchases. It can be shared with 5 family members too.
