I think this is actually a good shakeup for Money Transfer, they don't even need to rely on putting Googles name in their marketing to sell the product as so many new startups seem to want to do as an appeal to authority or try to present more stability in their marketing.

I will die on this hill.

The game looks awesome though! I loved shovel knight and I think they'll knock it out of the park with this one too.

It seems, though, that when working in a business that you'll have many users with many use cases, you'll be competing with other software companies, the temptation is there to add the one feature more to please the user or compete a little better.

I feel it leans into advertising being about convincing one what one has is bad, not good enough or embarrasing, such that a product is bought. I think I agree that could be considered covert unkind speech in media and advertising.
