Well, you're also not the target audience. This is aimed at the people who buy Madden every year, who are already inured to predatory monetization, and so will probably just roll over and take it.

    My local basketball team recently made it almost to the finals, so my wife and I felt obliged to watch a couple of the games. Holy shit, there was so much advertising. Even when they challenged a call and they had 15 seconds or so they still stick an ad on the screen. They even have ads that are digitally super imposed on the court and you can tell cause they don’t always clip correctly around the players but who cares if it interrupts your watching cause we need our money.
