Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes
The filing points to a possible ad-supported model for PC and console games that is less disruptive than the approaches commonly used in mobile titles.
Watching an ad would earn players another block of ad-free play time, called a “credit”
As usual, it’s going to be only for the free, or “cheaper” tier at first, then it will creep up to the other tiers. We’ve seen this happen time and again.
Then it will go full circle like Disney+ who just eliminated any tier without ads.
No amount of money will get you Disney+ without ads now.
