Microsoft wants you to pay for Solitaire, again, in Windows 10

I think solitaire is pretty well free everywhere, so if you want this specific app, what are you gonna pay a couple bucks? I&#x27;m on the fence, on the one hand I like when companies are called out on nitpicky stuff, but on the other hand if it were free, something else will be charged to make up for the hours of dev time used to streamline it.<p>all in all with Windows 10 this is pretty minor. Turns out that buying a deck of cards and playing solitaire still costs money for the deck of cards which people (labor) ultimately were responsible produced and shipped. And the real card decks don&#x27;t automatically shuffle itself, keep a tally or set up games for you.
