I've opened the game without reading the post. When I've hovered over the crown and saw the prime stuff I thought it was some kinda' joke or parody. Turns out it isn't. Which I think is even funnier in some meta/state-of-the-things-today way. As there's nothing left but laugh at the absurdity of our reality.

Same here, saw this post and thought it would be a nice way to pass time on my laptop which is tethered to 256kbps free roaming while my phone updates over the censored wifi so I don't waste my fast data (hence browsing HN as one of the few text-based websites still around).

I remembered 2048 as a nice all-javascript game that runs in memory... opened this "updated version" and was met with slow-loading fonts, Google Ads, sign in and payment features, and the game did not in fact work (UI rendered but the initial 2 tile never loaded).

What's absurd about a consumer brand having a gaming division?
