Yes and I am very appreciative of companies like Nintendo who keep the art alive. I feel the phone market has untapped potential still.

  The Nintendo Switch's start screen has ads on it. When you turn the console on from sleep mode, it shows flashy images entitled "Featured News" on the left third of the lock screen. [1] I tried to disable it, but apparently you cannot unsubscribe from the preloaded "news" channels. When I play Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the in-game experience is mostly ad-free, but there is a side quest on my quest log that appears to be a cross-promotion with some non-Nintendo game. It's really frustrating that Nintendo is also doing this bullshit now, even if in moderation.

    I think an ad outside of a game is fine if it's not too excessive, but I too was disappointed to see cross-game "ad" content being baked into The Legend of Zelda DLC.

      > I think an ad outside of a game is fine if it's not too excessive I don't, if the ad is on a device or program that I've paid cash money for.

        Exactly. I didn't pay 300€ for an ad delivery mechanism.
