Ubisoft In-Game Adverts

[J4MES OX4D 10,069]

Ubisoft are blaming a ‘technical error’ after thousands of users experienced in-game ads popping up during their games. One user was greeted with a huge Assassin’s Creed Mirage banner when they opened the World map while conveniently playing AC Odyssey. The advert element scaled perfectly across the entire world map to the exact pixel for some users yet Ubisoft want us to believe this was some sort of ‘error’ lmao! They should come clean and just say they were trying something stupid for Black Friday and sorry for pissing everyone off. Other users were experiencing adverts appear during black screen transitions which adds a certain tackiness.

 

This shit has been on the cards for years though and even Xbox are welcoming disruptive pop-ups upon starting the console of late but not for third party titles. I think 2K already do this for their casino basketball game but no surprises there. I remember revisiting Warzone back in 2020 and had 9 store pop-ups in the main menu before I could even start, but having your live game disrupted with a targeting advert sets a bad precedent. Thankfully it looks like Ubi have been left with egg on their face after a damning reception to this and their laughable excuse that nobody believes.
