Keeps users in their wallet garden. Marketers love shoving shit in users faces whenever they launch the game. Inside the game it’s bad for. To advertise whatever other garbage there is, on their launcher they try to grab your attention for their other crap
But see, that’s the thing. They’re just as capable of putting those ads in game too. I definitely would have more visibility on the ads just at the title screen than I would on a launcher I’m clicking through as fast as humanly possible.
We need a term for a Freudian slip caused by mobile autocorrect. Because “wallet garden” is extremely accurate, even if it’s not the intended word choice.

Then they’d have to update the actual game, as opposed to just updating the launcher when a change needs to be made.
Updating the launcher is quicker and cheaper.
yeah, plus there’s only one launcher, and possibly thousands of games.
If they can convert purchase within their launcher, they don’t pay Steam their cut. That’s it.
That’s against Steam’s TOS, and Valve doesn’t take kindly to that.
…wallet garden? So…like a garden where they grow wallets for you to eat?
I mean, if that’s in your taste palate, bone apple tea, I guess…
man my phone just isn’t my friend today
Now wait, it’s an interesting typo, the double meaning fits so well.
:D
I knew what you meant. I was just really proud of tying it to “bone apple tea”.
I’m only here to amuse myself.

That’s actually how I took it at first, seemed highly apropos.
Eggcorn? Rickyism? Though neither is specifically for autocorrect.
