Or we'll pivot back to a paid model, or ads without / with less tracking - I don't think that's a bad trade.

I just installed exodus and noticed plenty of the app's I paid for still have trackers...

The trust has been broken. There needs to be a way to make sure this is a transition to "paid, no ads/tracking" and not "paid plus ads/tracking".

One interesting side effect of GDPR is the surprising amount of PC games - games for which I paid price that's presumably profitable to the authors - that started throwing up consent forms.
