Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? For example: easy puzzle games, match-3 games, low-difficulty adventure games, or clicker-style games....
I'm not sure it fits 100% with what you're looking for, but I'll take chance and recommend Slice & Dice (Google Play, Apple App Store). Free demo, no ads, single in-app purchase to unlock the full version. This game is easily the best value-for-dollar mobile game I've ever purchased.
I noticed that Miss Vickie's has a new sour cream something or other flavour in a bag that's the same colour, or nearly so. Every time I go through the chip aisle I get very excited for a second, then I realize it's not actually the Harvest Cheddar and my hopes are dashed. I'm developing an irrational hatred of those impostor chips.
I haven't actually tried the new ones, I probably should do that before I slander them. The Harvest Cheddar ones were so good though. I haven't seen them in at least a few years, unfortunately.
They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it.

Commerce conducted in a capitalist economy is inherently capitalist. Being publicly traded is not strictly required, though it might be the most common form of corporate structure under capitalism. Individuals, partnerships, privately-held and publicly-traded companies can all own capital. Valve's assets are not owned by a government, its business decisions are made privately and it operates in a free market. Those three factors are pretty much the definition of capitalism.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."
