Interesting. I haven’t noticed any change, but it is possible I haven’t been paying enough attention because I don’t use my phone when I’m sititng in front of PC.
I’m running GrapheneOS on Pixel 8 and my battery usually last around 4 days. It could probably last longer if Element (Matrix) wasn’t running all the time on the background.

And that’s why the only correct choice is a piracy. We just cannot afford to waste that kind of money on unfinished games. Especially while the economy is getting worse and worse.
Or one could play FOSS games. However, in such case I would still recommend supporting the developers as much as one can, if the game is enjoyable. Usually, those games are better than any AAA game that came out lately.
