Fuck this.
There will be literally ads everywhere soon.
Ads in the street, on TV, on the radio, in magazines, on the internet, in games (including in VR)...
It's a nightmare it will be completely impossible to go through one minute of your life without being sold something.
It's not really something new but it saddens me because gaming was one of the few space that was mostly spared by advertisers. One of the last place you could get out of your reality for a little while.
Now this is over. Just like Netflix people will go up in arms against ads and then still get Free2Play games showing ads and normalize that practice.
