The statement from Ubisoft is that the advertisement was only supposed to show when the game was first started, not when any other menu was opened. I know Ubisoft often does not deserve the benefit of the doubt but I find this explanation very plausible. A lot of games these days do this, even ones from much more “trusted” developers and publishers like Nintendo.
- jimmaswell 3y agoI recall lots of game manuals including advertisements for other games, and not having manuals anymore, the main menu is fair enough. Some PS1 demos in particular had ads for other games in the games themselves too I think.
- munk-a 3y agoI don't think we need to excuse any additional creep of advertising into modern media - we're plenty over-saturated as is.
- diego_sandoval 3y agoI don't think popup ads that obstruct your interaction with the main menu are acceptable either, they're only slightly less scummy than in-game ads.
