According to posts on online forums, ads have made their way into real-time gameplay in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. One gamer who reported the problem was Redditor triddel24,...
I’m so behind companies doing this because too many people accept ads in every other part of their life and then act surprised when they get more ads showing up. It would be nice if this stuff woke people up.
You can’t pick and choose. You have to reject all ads. They’re a cancer we let it metastasize
I wish your method would get the results you want. I know way too many people who sit through ads for energy to play mobile games. I know way too many people who will sit through freevee or still pay over a hundred bucks a month for cable tv, somehow. It’ll never change.
Coming soon is all the streaming video companies with advertisements on paid subs. Netflix has removed the cheap tier from new subs and replaced it with an ad tier. Amazon is planning on removing no-ad content from amazon prime next year. Pretty much every streaming company except apple has an ad tier or is planning one soon.
Advertisement is pervasive and honestly a huge problem. It should be prohibited from a huge swath of services, especially healthcare, but also as an optional thing on basically every platform. I truly believe ads make everything worse.
The enshittification of streaming services has pushed me back to sailing the seas.
And I plan on sharing all that I have with anyone who wants it.
An additional insult is publishers or authors changing their old stuff (Terry Pratchett is re-editing his old novels, the old Bond books are being edited because the language is “offensive”, etc).
I’d like to maintain my own library of un-altered stuff.
It gets crazier to me when I start counting how many minutes of my day is spent being advertised too. I get ads on the radio to work. I get ads in the song themselves because DJ deEzNutz took a deal with McDonald’s to include a hook where he talks about those two sweet beef patties. Meanwhile I’m staring at every billboard one the way to work. I see all the signs on the bus stops. I see the ads on the bus themselves. Hell I get 8 hours between work and bed. How many of those are spend watching a commercial. This is such a wacky situation and I feel like Rowdy Piper in ‘They live’.

It’s so sad because these people could block those ads and use free streaming services.
Blokada 5 blocks ads in apps, but you have to download it from their website because Google blocked all apps that use Blokada’s functionality from the Play Store.
Here’s a free streaming service to watch pretty much anything for free, just make sure you have Adnauseam or uBlock Origin installed: https://fmoviesz.to/
The problem is that we, as a culture, don’t pride ourselves on saving money. We pride ourselves on getting taken advantage of because that’s what everyone else is doing. Useful idiots and tools are the norm. They get mad whenever someone rises above their stupidity.

Terry Pratchett isn’t re-editing anything, he sadly is no longer with us.
