If you hit “next”, the consent window opens again and if you refuse any of them, you get put back at this screen so you’re stuck in a loop.

This shitty practice is even endorsed by Google, as they are promoting this game to try out and earn points.

Edit: game is called Jewel Gold Empire: Match 3 and it’s from some Korean company it seems: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.penta.empire.google

Obviously I uninstalled it immediately after

    I am, but what can I do? Try and reporting it via the obtuse methods of Google to have them investigate themselves seems pointless

      The only thing that’s pointless is doing nothing.

      Now, I’m not arguing that fighting against this is worth your time. I’m making more a semantic argument that hopelessnes and apathy only allow things to get worse.

      Also, fuck this game. Don’t play it.

      I mean, if you do want to do something about it, reporting it to your regional data protection officer would be the first step. Then they’ll contact whomever is responsible for this game and tell them to change it or get sued.
