As an app hater myself I think modern games normalizing forcing the player to install quest-required apps for their in-game phone is harmful to kids. Especially when the NPC advertising it to the protagonist gives you a yes/no prompt which is a non-choice (you have to accept it and it just treats no as being a little cheeky or silly). Where are the games where you can say no to the stupid apps and play more traditionally without a fake in game smartphone? Where are the games that teach kids they are allowed to say "no"?
