Microsoft probably should revoke Arkadium's right to use their brand name. Arkadium's worst of the worst ads and microtransactions, much less their poor attention to performance detail, really are making Microsoft look bad to a lot of users that just want to play Solitaire/Minesweeper/Jigsaw sometimes.

Especially after the walkbacks that Xbox Game Studios had to do after flak about scummy microtransactions in Halo, Gears, and Forza, it still seems incredible that Microsoft continues to allow Arkadium to do it to a far bigger audience (and a lot of people's parents and grandparents especially) with their brand name attached to it.
