As long as it's not blatant, I'm fine, but if they're shoving it down your throat, No (Pepsi Man is the exception).
 
Absolutely despise them, I understand with apps that are free off of play store of apple store but aside from that it's pretty ridiculous.
 
Annoying and a waste of data/ time. But other then that I don't care. Money needs to be made
 
It wholly depends on the situation and game for me. If it's like a racing game where there's advertisements on the cars for their sponsors, well that's something that's going on IRL as well so it doesn't mean much to me. In fact it sort of enhances the atmosphere since it's closer to the actual racing you watch.

If it's stuff like a FPS with random billboards, I'd heavily prefer they be relevant to the game and not just some random "DRINK JOSTA!!" (points to those who get that reference). Also if the game takes place in, say Spain, I really find it off putting seeing english billboards/whatever in a country that has their own 'official' language.

If it's stuff like you'd see in a FTP mobile game? Keep it the hell away from anything that I paid money for. Bar none.
 
It goes situational. Like if I know some indie dev worked really hard on a game, made it free, and wanted to a put a banner ad on the pause menu, then fine go for it. But if some mainstream conpany charged 30 dollars for the game, and still had those ads, I would not be ok with it.
 
It depends. It would really only bother me if it changed my experience in a negative way
 
If I pay subscription or one time purchase, I don't want any more advertisement. If it is a free to play, then it is fine
 
Honestly, they don't really bother me that much. Unless it's one of those ads where it totally pauses your game, and your forced to watch a 30-second video :glare:
 
Can't say I've seen it, besides in MOTD on source games. Perhaps there's been product placement in certain games? I haven't really noticed lol
 
If the game is free, I don't mind them. I prefer smaller banner adds that can be closed after 3 seconds vs the 30-60 seconds videos of other free games that you can't skip.

If you paid for the game, there should be no ads at all.
 
Same as toxic. No ads whatsoever if you paid for the game, otherwise if doing f2p suffer the consequences, except the ones that shove them down your throat making you experience ads every like minute or so and it's a full minute ad.
 
I mean if its a game like GTA 5 and they have billboards etc, i'd be okay with it. Smart Product placement. If its like a pop-up or something like that no, i want no part.
