I don’t know if this has been discussed before but after what Ubisoft did recently I had the question: What would you think of a system in which you purchase lite versions of games which are cheaper but there are ad breaks?

    Let me come up with a really stupid idea, then post it on Reddit, everyone’s gonna like it and I’m gonna be so popular.

    Have you never seen any “pay less with ads” thing?

    Netflix with ads is more expensive than Netflix was about 5 minutes earlier.

    Eventually I’m just going to find other things to do. I am not ok with this model in any way whatsoever. Because all it would end up being is a way for them to charge more and put ads in. It would be alright for about six months until an IP that everyone buys fucks the whole system up and everyone else follows suit.

    Nothing kills your soul like sitting through a ad.

    I’m astounded how people put so little value of their free time.

    Problem is with stuff like this is that it never ends on just that, does it now? It always goes further and of course, it is always worse for the consumer. I don’t want this to even be a suggestion for an OPTION, this should never exist.

    If people want ads they can freely bathe in the mobile game slop with other piggies, I will stay here and pay to play actual games.

    Absolutely disgusting. I would rather quit gaming forever than deal with that.

    Oh, ich can easely tell you the end of this storyline. It’s gonna be “Pay the same price… with ads”.

    If it’s just an option then it’s fine but I feel like the target for this would rather just pirate and/or wait for sales after a few years of release. I’m the latter and I won’t be buying a game with ads :)

    No ads. I refuse to play Ubisoft games after that little “technical” issue they had in Assassin’s Creed.
