Jason Cross: Playing Apple Arcade is like waking up from the Matrix and seeing the world as it really is

Freemium games are] designed to be fun and addictive, but to deliberately become increasingly less fun if the player doesn’t spend [virtual in-game currency via in-app purchases]. The game will always let you earn some gems, but never enough to remove the roadblocks to properly playing and enjoying the game. Rare is the game that simply lets you play a bit for free and then pay a one-time fee to “unlock” the full game, or remove ads…

We all know that this is how mobile games work by now. We’ve come to accept it… Playing Apple Arcade games is like getting hit in the face with a bucket of cold water. It’s like waking up from the Matrix and seeing the world as it really is… In just a week, I’ve come to develop an attitude that if a game isn’t in Apple Arcade, I’m just not interested.

WARNING: You are being watched! Here’s what to do about it, NOW

Most privacy solutions are based on hiding your IP address, encrypting our internet traffic or encrypting your phone conversations and texting. However, such solutions are a joke. If the powers that be cannot read your email, what’s to stop them from reading all your friends’, family’s and associates emails to learn all they want to know about you anyway?

Moreover, most companies promoting VPN, secure tunnels and proxies as a means to privacy don’t tell you how to plug up the leak capacity build into most web browsers, nor do they tell you how to plug your DNS leak. I consider this to be false advertising by omission. As for conversation encryption, first of all, according to Edward Snowden, an awful lot of household word corporations have been recruited by the NSA into the PRISM surveillance program, so common scene dictates that you probably can’t trust encryption apps produced by large corporations and they may have backdoors built into them.

Privacy Bible is the only book, in my opinion, that introduces solutions circumspective enough to actually be effective. You can read a free chapter here.

Everyone you communicate with that is not using privacy solutions as recommended in Privacy Bible is like a weak link in your chain – if you want privacy. Therefore, Privacy Bible is a call to enlistment in a new privacy army to fight unconstitutional and/or illegal surveillance.
