Brett from Informed Pixel says: "Assassin’s Creed Odyssey isn’t like the games that made me fall in love with the series. It’s better.

For free to play which is a market of games needing monetization through different venues. In those games this stuff is fine by me. But when you pay ..20, 40 ,60, or $70 that's when it is not okay to any degree.
That's not a technical error. An ad can't be displayed mid-game without you creating the code/tech to make that possible first.
