You have never had Candy Crush-esque apps installed automatically?
I really don't know everything that is installed on my computer - do you on yours? I can say I have never seen the thing.

And anyway, surely that is a game, not an ad?

Which is paid to be preinstalled and put in your face every time you open the start menu.

I'd go as far to say it is adware.

Me: Opens Start Menu (which, frankly, I don't normally use) - doesn't see it.
