The company also tried to get some money from users for a premium version of Solitaire in Windows 8. But unlike Solitaire Collection for Windows 10, it wasn’t pre-installed in the system. The fact that Microsoft wants you to pay for playing Solitaire Collection without ads is actually not surprising, because a lot of users received Windows 10 for free, and company surely needs some revenue. So either they will get it from advertisers or from you to stop seeing content from those advertisers. It looks like Microsoft relies on revenue from its subscription services, like Groove Music, Videos and Office 365, rather than revenue from selling the system itself.It's not a one-off purchase, either. To keep the ads at bay, you'll have to pay $1.49/month or $10/year. To be entirely fair, this is the same as on the Windows 8 version, which wasn't installed by default but could be downloaded from the Windows Store. With the fresh rollout of Windows 10 and Solitaire once again being pre-installed, plenty of new users are feeling the sting of the intrusive adverts though, and being asked to subscribe as a solution isn't going down well. Some Reddit users are none too pleased about the paid ad-removal. Although many point out that it's nothing new for Windows 8 users, others say the problem is including advertising in native apps. "Ads in native software is inexcusable," writes user ofNoImportance. "If I go out and download a trial and that's got ads, fine. But not in something that's 1st-party and paid software.
