5-6 different screens just to close out their ads (that go on forever) while playing other games. I can tell within 5-10 seconds if a game interests me but it's like, well, we'll give you one or two or five more chances to click the install button. NOPE!! If your pre-install ads piss me off - not interested in your stupid game.
