Wow, are you serious? People will watch ads for game credits? Thank goodness I was a kid in the 90s before this wackiness pervaded the gaming industry.
I'm not knocking you BTW - the market will bear what it will bear - but, wow I had no idea this was a thing.
- increment_i 12y agoOnly on Hacker News would you get downvoted for questioning advertising.
- MBCook 12y agoI've done it in lieu of paying for consumables. I'm not going to pay the money, but I'm willing to tap a button and do something else for 30 seconds while I wait for my phone to play a video I'm ignoring.
- wvenable 12y agoIn the 90's you probably watched 10 minutes of ads in exchange for 20 minutes of Television more times than you can count.
- exodust 12y agoHave we forgotten the days of "insert coin(s) to continue"? Arcade games holding my progress to ransom was "accepted" in the 80s and 90s. Fast forward to today and watching a video for 30 seconds to gain more credits is unacceptable?
