Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

I agree. People don’t want to face the truth. For the decades that the “PCMR” meme has existed, it’s all been about supporting Microsoft.

Sure, recently, the steam deck and Valve let you go “but Linux!” But the PCMR term is tainted. Always has been. You can’t tell me it was about Mac OS, Linux and Windows.

And this is before we look at the history of “master races.” It’s all really fucked up.
