$2 a month to subscribe to a solitaire game? You're out of your mind, MS.

I was ridiculously excited until I saw the $2 per month subscription to remove ads. What??

I would have paid $2 one time to remove the ads, no problem.

I'll give it a shot with ads.. if they get to be insane then I'll delete it. 2.00 a month is nuts! Just put the app up for 5.00 total and live with it. Have addon's for 99 cents each like add your own graphics for the cards or something. But 2.00 a month, for a card game? Not going to happen!
