There are so many websites for mobile games that I don’t install apps anymore. Most of them soak up data they don’t need, and nuts to that. Games in a browser work fine and you can very easily block ads regardless of OS.
I usually use one of these, but there are a lot of others out there as well that are equally good because there are just so so so many games out there.
That works for some games. Others will stop functioning, even if not multi-player games. I mostly avoid mobile games, but sometimes it's either that or nothing.
Its funny how the only games that i play on my phone are a mobile ports of pc games, especially because i cant install any mobile game by not having a google account.

Rethink DNS is also great it lets you vpn, firewall, filter, dns at sane time

Or for something simpler, NetGuard lets you disable network access for specific apps

Is it the real deal?

Yeah. It's open source and everything.

Adguard DNS: 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15

Pihole+VPN+GrapheneOS so i can just turn off network permissions on an app like that.
I also basically gave up on mobile games years ago, they are all shit cashgrabs.

Total War Battles Kingdom was my last straw.

Adguard to the rescue! No ads for me.
ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 76d
For me, I do the opposite. If I'm seeing an ad, it's because I'm not using my PiHole, so for whatever reason, I'm not on my WiFi network.

If the game I'm playing isn't worth paying $2 for, it's probably not worth playing

I’ve done this for some games on iPhone. Go in and disable Cellular access and then turn off WiFi when at home. Viola…game doesn’t play obnoxious ads.
Though some games like Scrabble made by EA won’t work offline which is dumb af and I just won’t play those at all.

Cached ads still play dummy
