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.
Anyone think the Xbox full-screen ad for CoD is crazy disrespectful?
- Thread starter anonpuffs
- Start date
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

You damn right it's disrespectful people are selling thier Xbox's over it
I wouldn't know. I don't own an Xbox.
As always, MS leads the charge to the gutter. The faster the brand dies, and with it the hardware, the better, and the declining sales are, if anything, way too slow. Yes it sucks for those with 10000 or 100000 achievements and their library tied to the Xbox ecosystem but it's the way it's. This company is never gonna change and the longer Xbox stays in the console business, the worse it gets for everyone - not just Xbox fans who have it worse than everyone else. Sega fans adjusted, and the sun shined the day after. There is Nintendo, PC and PlayStation to migrate to - infinitely better options.
Solution is simple: Stop buying Xbox. And recommend that others stop as well.

And MS claimed that the ATVI deal wasn't about CoD. They couldn't wait to get their hands on it...lol
What a piece of hot garbage, I'm tired of that nagging software these days.
For a game that’s an automatic purchase for a good bit of its fan base you shouldn’t have to do this.
"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).
MS has no shame.
Time for me to walk the walk and move on to Linux or something.
It is disgusting behavior. While it is a easy way to reach their userbase, and understandable from a corporate standpoint - yet again Microsoft is tone-deaf to what consumers want vs what they feel they can get away with.

Don't worry guys they are outraged because Microsoft didn't add a Gamepass option alongside the game
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.
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 actually don’t care at all about this, but the bots are all over forums and twitter defending it. MS is taking massive Ls lately.
