So anyway, archery is cheap, fun, and there are no ads.
Practice your archery on ads
nah chupacabruuuh, I have my target set up in the woods away from the bullshit. Or at the virtually-unused public archery range. There are ads there, and they’re ads for businesses that actually paid to build the thing, which is different from ad revenue for the sake of ad revenue TO MAXIMIZE PROFITS. Brody I’m so fuckin tired.
I have a free use method of avoiding these charges where I don’t use microsoft
Places that advertisers have not yet turned into a vehicle for ads:
RadioTVMoviesThe InternetVideo Games- Classical Fine Art
- The Moon / Space
- Grave Markers/ Headstones
- Inside Eyelids
- Your Baby’s Smile
- Brain Implants
Just don’t play Microsoft games. They crippled or outright destroyed all their former good game studios anyway. So it’s not like they will be making great games you can’t live without anyway.
Just use an OS that does not do this.
Steam banned having to watch an ad before being able to play a game last year
Done. No ragerts
on an Xbox ?
What use is an Xbox nowadays? And who said that Microsoft will not use the same “feature” on Windows?
Microsoft keeps finding innovative ways to make owning its products feel like renting them. You buy the Xbox, buy the game, maybe pay for Game Pass, and Microsoft still patents a way to interrupt you with ads. At this rate, the final boss will be a 30 second unskippable commercial.
They fucked themselves when they went on their buying spree of studios. Their idea was literally that they would own every game studio, making a GamePass a necessity that they could charge whatever they wanted for.
Their quest inflated the price of every subsequent studio they acquired, leading them to take on so much debt that they had to shutter the studios they’d just purchased, and now they have to make a ton of money on every game–but that’s not how games work.
Just capitalism things…
The only winning move for the final boss is to put down the controller and go outside.
Love it!
This is going to happen, too, I guarantee it. Gamepass basic with ads coming next year.
Isn’t there some kind of group that patents awful ideas so nobody else can use them?
Microsoft patents technique for me not buying another game from them ever
Damn, by patenting it they’re actually doing us all a huge favor.
Everyone will simply avoid microsoft games and no other gaming company can copy their stupid ideas.
Based
Guess I’ll just keep sailing the high seas. Someone let me know when businesses want to act with some semblance of good faith to their customers.
Can they just ffffff off with this?
Everytime I think I could not hate Microsoft more than I already do, they come out and do something like this.
Its so amazing that we had so many routes to make things better and better. Technology promised such an amazing future. Of course, greed ruined that and here we are. We fumbled the bag people…
not we the epstein class did this.
EA did this years ago
