I will, in turn, be very thoutful about buying any of your games.
If in-game ads become the norm, I guess I could either not play games anymore, or I could take my ship out onto the ocean.
There are more "lol fuck you" choices than there are "pretty please let me be bombarded with bullshit" options here.
People are already paying for ads in games. Look at American/European truck simulator where you pay to have Goodyear or whatever other company on your rig.
If they do it tastefully.. like a coke can in a cafeteria which would make it more realistic than a generic brand - it could work.
They’ve been doing this in movies for decades.
If it’s shit like pop ups or little red notification dots, they can go fuck themselves with a rusty screwdriver.
