    This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Since its takeover by Kraft/Mondelez their chocolate has become poorer quality. As soon as the Cadbury name was being licenced to various other diversified food products (ice cream, cakes etc.) it was a sign of what was to come. Sad. Still not as bad as Hershey’s though.

      I use the same metric for videogames. The instant they’re buying up other companies’ IP to sell skins, they’re cooked.

        In game purchases are already a pretty bad sign it’s a commodified product dopamine machine and not an artistic experience. I don’t think I’d have the same regard for classics like Grim Fandango or Mario 64 if they built a store into the game.
