Ads breaking old games is so frustrating. I wanted to play Risk and downloaded the official app but the ads are broken such that they never "finish" and I have to kill the app and relaunch between games to continue. I'm happy to pay for removal but I refuse to pay without being able to try the game. Same story with PvZ, they added ads everywhere and ruined the game that I paid full price for. They don't even let you remove ads or restore purchases (which feels very wrong) until you've played the first 10 levels or so. I loved PvZ so much but EA ruined it completely.

What makes me angry is when I pay to remove ads for some of these games, and then a year or two later they show me ads anyway.
