All big games will have this from now on. Same as with microtransactions, very few have non anymore.

Next will be: "Watch X more ads, to speed up the grind"

These games are trash anyway. Adding ads wouldn’t change much.

Would you say all games with mtx are trash? No one stops the suits from picking an amazing game and force ads into them, same with mtx.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Ya for the most part. They always design the game around squeezing you and pressuring you into buying shit.

None of the games I play have ads or MTX. Just pure unadulterated gaming.
