When the recent Sonic the Hedgehog re-release from SEGA did this I just deleted it off my phone. shrugs

Same! Instant delete. I hope game publishers start to get the message

Oops, is it any of these? https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ios/?name=sonic

I was told they only contain DLC.

The issue is that there is no offline play until you purchase - furthermore SEGA still advertises their own games if you're connected to the internet.

Any app, IMHO, that requires to be connected to the internet to play so it can deliver you ads doesn't belong on this list.

Sonic 1, 2 and CD at least behave like this atm.

Does it require you to be connected to the internet? Or does it show you an ad if you are? Also, it shows an ad even if you pay? That doesn't sound great...

I really respect your effort, but something tells me that the list is going to be very short indeed if you don't allow any toxicity at all

It looks like you have a "DLC" flag, maybe add "Online Only" to the list as well..
