https://www.eurogamer.net/xbox-users-call-out-activision-and-microsoft-for-vomit-inducing-full-screen-modern-warfare-3-ad
Activision and Xbox have teamed up to release full screen ads for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on the console's homepage, which players have since heavily criticised. They did one of these for Starfield. All it did was make decidedly not want to play Starfield I already don't want to play CoD so this makes me even less interested in playing CoD. If it wss a splash screen that prompted when you went to the store or whatever, okay that's annoying but at least there's a fucking cause and effect. These fucking things populate when you boot up and sign into your Xbox. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason. Never doubt. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's honestly appalling how inundated our society is with ads. Why does there even need to be such ads on a game console's home screen? Why not just leave them for the shopping menus?

I get that ads suck in general, but I just can't bring myself to actually be upset over it. Atleast it's not like Youtube, where I literally have to watch for however long. I can just go straight to Exit or whatever and, bam, I lost like... 3 seconds?

I got NBA 2K23 as a monthly freebie on PS+. Every time I start the game, I get back-to-back full screen ads about DLC and purchasing NBA 2K24. Every single time. Its so annoying.

You can immediately jump right out of it (in a few seconds like the other user said). I barely even noticed it.

It's the fucking principle of the matter. If I riled myself up to care about principle that much, I'd have literally no hobbies whatsoever. I'd just stare at a wall all day, because nothing else would be available to me.

"thank you faceless corporation! Please inundate me with more ads" It's a choose your battles kind of thing. With Youtube, it literally impacts me, because I have to otherwise sit through sometimes literally minutes of ads. An ad that pops up once and I click one button and I'm done with it... That's not a battle I choose to fight, because there are so many others to be concerned with. If I chose to get upset over literally everything, I'd not be able to play video games, watch movies, eat most foods, etc. and so on. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
