"It makes games more accessible for everyone! If a player does not want to experience ads, then they can purchase the game at full price!"
They are tired of people not buying their shitty games, so they want a way to at least make a bit of money before the servers go down.
Or they just want to make more money off of everyone.
And then after a while, the rug will be pulled and paid tiers will have ads too.
No, no... Paid tiers will get relevant and targeted ads, to make the experience more immersive and personal! And if people don't want it, they can opt out with a small additional fee! This will enable us to provide a better experience for everyone!
Who doesn't want a better experience?
Optting out will just result in generic, untargeted ads, doesn't everyone want ads targeted to them specifically?! Don't we all just love ads?!? Everyone loves ads right? Especially when they are tailored specifically to you right?! So personal, what else could anyone want from anything?
menu requires to watch 3 minutes ads/hr. BOSS battles(5 3 minute adds interesect in the length it takes to kill a boss)
So, is this the second or third stage of enshittification?
