Ubisoft blames “technical error” for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed::Ubisoft started displaying a fullscreen pop-up ad in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey this week. It was caused by a technical error.
Anyone that thinks this wasn’t intentional is a fool. They are just testing the waters.
Bad feedback? Then shelve it and try it again in a couple years. Regardless, Pandora’s box as been opened and all the other game companies now will be eyeing this new ‘feature’ for future implementation real soon.
Forza games have had full screen ads for the past 3 or 4 games and it has yet to affect sales.
what kind of ads were these?
had not heard of this before.

Okay , but if this was a so-called accident, why is there even a function in the game for pop-ups?
The real error was that they built the mechanism to do it to begin with.
horseshit, this was a canary launch. if we hadn’t thrown a fit we could look forward to “To turn on Seven Up Subtitles, press pause, wait for the unskippable ad to play, go the the ‘Settings Brought to You By Doritos™’ menu, select the ‘RAID Shadow Legends Options Menu’, wait for the unskippable ad to play, then select ‘Seven Up Subtitles’.”
Please drink a verification can
“Technically, we thought no one would complain this much.”
I call bullshit!
So technical. Such error
BS. They got caught, had no back up excuse and flopped out this excuse
Shit, I was all set to buy Mirage this week but not now.
This story has essentially caused a 20% off coupon for Assassin’s Creed Mirage to circulate my lemmy feed for the past 2 days. I am a chubby man with a weak heart that hungers for these types of comfort food games and this subliminal advertising is hard for me to resist.
Ignoring the overall subject, I don’t like your physical description of yourself.
Try to be a little healthier, please.
