Personally don’t mind a bit of development news, patch notes, expansions pack adverts etc personally. It’s empty space and if you don’t want to look at it then you can be past it in 0.5 seconds anyway.
Obviously if its XP boosts and annoying DLC adverts then it can get to fuck though.
While it may be true it’s not really a fair comparison because the more developed a country is the more unrealistic large growth becomes. It’s impossible and ridiculous to pretend the US could grow 20%. China on the other hand has more scope to allow for growth.
