New Can you not delete the game app?
Then re-install the app when needed.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov

New No game apps here
The point of the article was that they are ramping down pretty much everything except for their identified benchmark apps. Benchmark apps are part of games. So if a game benchmark runs fast the phone looks good. But they also want to keep the battery usage down. So they're constantly choking down everything except what would make them look good on a comparison chart.

Doesn't matter to me. I use that phone for a single app and I don't give a s***. At least not much of a s***. Enough to be annoyed every time I pick it up. But I only pick it up once a week for about 5 minutes so it shouldn't really matter.

New Nerfing the desktop is stupid
Even if it helps the benchmarks run faster, a laggy UI is going to be noticable and will show up on every review.
