I don't and won't play games with in-game ads. No matter how good they apparently are otherwise, I'll never know.

    Only one I can justify is the EA sports games. Mainly because I refuse to play those games.

    Ads are not required for sports to be immersive.

    But none intrusive banner ads is whatever, historically football games have included "fake ads" for charities and inclusion.

    If that got changed to opt-in proper ads for a 10€ price deduction we'd be all ears

    I was making a bad joke about they're expected in sports games but I just refuse to play EA sports games in general.

    I dislike how they're all small iterations every year and filled with microtransactions.

    There are so few games I play in which ads would make sense. Hard to shoehorn a dorito ad in a fantasy universe or on a distant planet. I very much wouldn't welcome it.

    There are a few odd cases I can remember, like freaking Tonic Trouble ages ago that was another Rayman-like from Ubisoft and power-ups in that game (in Europe) were crunch bars from a vending machine. Or back when I played Splatoon they did an event in which you had to fight for a brand of noodles or some shit.

    Oh yeah, there's that absurd thing in Mario Kart 8 where they added 3 mercedes mini-cars out of nowhere. It's terrible but also so stupid it's a bit funny, especially since it's the only product placement they ever did in that game.
