I love N4G and I have been visiting it almost every day for 3 years now but at the moment, it's getting so unbearable with how awful the Ads are displayed on the mobile version. It is so irritating how everytime i open an article, a stupid Ad just pops up and takes half the screen and even closing it is annoying. And quite a lot of users at N4G have been complaining about this and so far, there was no response or feedback from the higher-ups at N4G and this is truly hurting the website as a whole for me and a lot of people who enjoy visiting this website. So please, do something about this.
Update: Sorry to hijack your post DarkOcelet, but we want to make sure all can read this as our post in the comment section will not be seen by most users. This is just a quick message from the N4G tech team to let you know we 100% agree with this blog post and we are working on sorting this out. Short answer is that we do not have full control what ads are shown on the page at all times as they are served via many different ad networks. Lately there have been a few ad formats introduced that have been too aggressive and we are working together with our ad partners now to make sure these no longer will show on the site. It is also worth mentioning that any redirect ads that automatically takes you to another page are caused by spammers attacking the ad networks with malicious ad scripts. These type of ads are never supposed to run on any site. This is a wide spread problem that is hurting a lot of sites. In most cases these ads are not "dangerous" to your phone, just super annoying. We are working with an ad security company to help us shut down the spammer who has attacked dozens of gaming websites the past few weeks. We are sorry this have negatively affected so many of our users and going forward we will also try and be much quicker with shutting down any ads that are not within our ad guidelines.

Games Asylum: "Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog weren’t the only platforming heroes receiving system-selling sequels in 1992. Over in Japan, the PC Engine’s Kaizō Chōjin Shubibinman (Shockman) series gained its third entry. US gamers had only just received the second game, and while there was hope of the CD-based Kaizō Chōjin Shubibinman 3 making it to the US, it was never to be. After playing through this newly translated re-release, it’s easy to see the potential it may have had – it’s comparable visually to Mega Drive/Genesis games released the same year and would have likely been positively received in the likes of EGM and GamePro."
Narrative flaws aside, Stellar Blade shines as a top-tier action title with unforgettable final boss fights, showcasing the best of the genre.
Sony is to blame for Helldivers 2 getting brutally review bombed, so why is Arrowhead still catching strays?
i feel like a majority has been blaming Sony and not Arrowhead.
just what ive seen.
Arrowhead's CEO is awesome and so transparent; they're demonstrating they're a gamer-first studio and will stand by our side even with a publishing partner as big as Sony.
I haven't seen anyone blaming Arrowhead except the dumb "but you knew!" takes... Which are useless, it's still the publisher that listed it for sale in unsupported countries.
I think we've already moved past it but hey gotta remind everyone what direction to throw shade where they were already throwing it.
Agreed!! 💯
This video ads are annoying and sometimes it takes a couple of time to close. Plus the scam ads website comment is really annoying especially when they write on someone comment and they haven't done anything. N4G OP probably avoid people complain since they most likely making money off this video ads.
Can you send over any screenshots please? Thanks!
Which ads? I don't see any. 😘
Obstruction!
