What do you think about ingame ads in PC games?

Surely they can be anoying, but aren't they a chance to publish games for free and still make some money?

I'm asking for a friend 😅

@decipher2k if the choice is not to play, or play with ads, i'll opt not to play, as i don't want the experience disrupted with ads.

if instead there's another option to pay with no ads, then i'd go for that if the game interests me enough & i can afford it.

@gmr_leon

i'm sorry, i mean ingame ads like on billboards or TV's that are real game objects.

those ads seem to be part of the game world, thus they are more subtile and don't interrupt the game flow.

@decipher2k ooh, gotcha. If it's a contemporary game where they fit and are kept more in the background (unless it's maybe a sports game where they're more upfront), then it's kind of whatever.

Not a fan of them still, but less disruptive than the ones I had in mind.
