I'll never buy a product that forces customers to sit through ads, that's fucking crazy. Of course we got @adamsapple gobbling the entire shaft over on gaf. Wtf is wrong with these people.
Its wild that this was never reported on and ignored. There were also ads for Starfield and Forza and startup of the console and now COD.
If Sony did this it would have been all over the place and they would have been crucified for it.
Xbox does it and no one says a thing. How convenient
"Fight against the ultimate threat..." They finally made Microsoft the villain in a CoD game?!
"This is charming, just like bugs in Bethesda games are."And people are actually defending it…
Have you used windows lately? My nephew got a gaming laptop, it came with a full screen ad for gamepass every time he booted it, they add a line "better with gamepass" in pretty much anything that could be indirectly related in the windows store (the Dolby Atmos app has that, WTF).For a game that’s an automatic purchase for a good bit of its fan base you shouldn’t have to do this.
The biggest problem is that if they get away with this shit for long enough, others will follow suit. Remember when online multiplayer was free in most consoles?I would be livid if I was an XBox customer. Since I'm not, I'm just watching to see how far they'll go with this and their other recent moves (raising prices on software and hardware, for example) and how long it takes for the less fanatical fans to decide they've had enough.
