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”
What’s amazing is they are proposing to introduce such a scheme in the product that people aren’t forced to use.
I just won’t play those games. End of problem.
Then they do it on the OS, forcing people to swap to Linux - But the majority of users wouldn’t know how
Until 95% of games have this, and you won’t have a choice.
