It's one thing if the preinstalled software can't be deleted (like that god forsaken Edge browser), but come on dude... It can uninstalled and rather quickly.
This seems like a grasp at straws to come up with a reason to bitch at Microsoft 🤷 -
PikaDude3167y@jhh2450 The main question is why they would add something like this? For what reason, especially if it can just be uninstalled?
-
@PikaDude They do it to make money from the developers of the game in order to entice people to play it since it's already installed.
-
@JMoodyFWD No where close to it.
I remember when we first got our computer we didn't have internet for like 3 months, and I just played pinball for hours at the time lol.
Good memories. -
@jhh2450 Pinball truly was the greatest feature of Windows XP. Played probably 1000+ hours of that.
-
CatMDV10507y@jhh2450 you can delete. But more will come. Minecraft, facebook, twitter, spotify, duolingo, the list goes on. There is always more.
Cherry on top, they actually use your precious bandwidth for unwanted new installations and upgrades of the existing ones. -
@CatMDV Not likely...
Even so, for the average person, those are all useful preinstalled apps, soooo you're not really strengthening your case to be honest lol. -
PikaDude3167y@jhh2450 All of them would be useful, except Minecraft. Minecraft is just Minecraft.

What kind of person doesn’t install Windows 10 for a free pre-installation of Candy Crush Soda Saga thrown into the mix? I really enjoy it when my Operating System comes preloaded with bullshit. It’s almost as if I’m losing rights to choose what I want installed on my operating system. It’s really enjoyable when Candy Crush Soda Saga appears in the background in task manager despite never opening this “””game”””. I find it amazing that after building such a powerful computer I can know that my fast 16gb ram is being used to keep bloatware running in the background. Every night I dream of the people who buy new computers with a fresh copy of Windows 10 pre-installed on it to find it has a copy of Candy Crush Soda Saga already waiting to be played! The joy and tears that must come to such a persons eye to know that Bill Gates was kind enough to bless the world with every middle-aged persons favourite game, Candy Crush Soda Saga, to be the first app that appears on their start menu. The thoughts running through every developers mind at Microsoft as they pre-load a copy of Candy Crush Soda Saga onto every copy of Windows 10. They must really feel alive and definitely would not consider doing anything else for a living but copying the files of Candy Crush Soda Saga across onto Official Windows 10 Installations. The rush of blood into their mind as they know that thousands, if not millions, of users from around the world open their brand new computer for the first time to see that King managed to bribe Microsoft with more money that you’ll ever get your hands onto into making them add a free copy of Candy Crush Soda Saga onto their computer. As thousands of those users move their mouse over this work of art, right click it and press uninstall without a second of doubt in their mind, rendering Kings investment to be a waste of time, money and effort. This is a story we will tell for generations and generations in the future of how the worlds most popular Operating System was not preloaded with a free copy of McAfee, but instead a copy of Candy Crush Soda Saga for the entire world to rejoice. Good day to you all.
