As long as Sony adds ad-blocker to PS+, I dont see the problem.
Download a VPN based adblocker. Blocks ads system wide by redirecting them locally - no servers involved.My son plays iOS games and they are not much more than ads with games attached
This post will continue after the ad...

What gets me is the ads are for other games. Game X runs ads for Game Y and vice-versa. How do they make money on this shit? It’s maddening watching him try to play with the constant ads.
There are a ton of games with ads in them already.
Granted none are as bad as pausing for commercial breaks, but they are still there.
Like punching out the Burger King King in a boxing game?It is different if they are on the background, part of the world. But if they are shoehorned in and screaming "see me", then it is a step too far for me.

Imagine that.Why it matters: In-game advertising, a linchpin of mobile gaming, could be very lucrative for console and PC developers. But studios have been hesitant to adopt them, fearing that a clunky ad experience would mess with user engagement.

AdBlock
The original AdBlock - the first and last ad-blocker you'll ever need. A one time purchase - no subscriptions needed. We've been blocking ads on iPhones and iPads since 2012 - we know our game! :) AdBlock allows you to block ads on your iOS device. Get rid of 99% of annoying popups, banners...apps.apple.com
The same thing has been said about microtransactions.So basically if you don't watch the ad, you won't be able to unlock the exclusive perks? If so, that sounds optional to me which I can easily ignore since im not going to care about unlocking in game perks.
This is patently and provably false. It's not unsustainable. They just want MORE.I've already predict it.
They try desperately to make money since today model based on 60€ games is unsustainable.
So they tried expansions first. Then DLC. Then microtransactions. Then lootboxes. Now Ads. They will fail and they'll try another one. It's an endless war they aren't willing to lose.
I will toss my console into the river if I have to watch ads. I’m not paying money for online horseshit and im not watching ads.Ad supported gaming for people who don’t want to buy PS+ or Live. Else ad-free.

The last thing we ever needed, ads becoming mainstream in video games.
If they put these types of ads in the latest Madden or Call of Duty game, it would still sell billions of copies. And I would continue happily ignoring them.People, we have to stand together against this and DON'T BUY GAMES that include adds. It´s as simple as that.
Only the generic ads, the ones tailored to us through their data mining are still given of course. Such kind souls they are.I can hear it now. If you guys don’t want to see ads in your games, simply buy the premium collectors edition of our game or the DLC which will allow you to skip or shorten the commercials and ads by inputting a simple code.
What is false?This is patently and provably false. It's not unsustainable. They just want MORE.
This a move based on greed not need.
