In a podcast with Wassup Conversations, Thierry Dansereau, art director of great games such as Immortals Fenyx Rising and Assassin's Creed Odyssey talks about behind the scene of those games and his general approaches toward creating the visual world of massive games.
A fullscreen pop-up ad appeared in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for some players this week.
Call of Duty already does this; Ubisoft and other game companies will follow suit and explore similar approaches.
Congratulations, A technical error In displaying ads while playing.
EU consumer law needs to chew these assholes a new one.
The big note here is the built in ad-displays during gameplay and not that they happened. Start screen, cool. Gameplay? That shouldn't ever happen.
"Start screen, cool."
Uhm, no. Start screen very much NOT cool either. There really need to be new laws implemented banning these companies from shoving ads down out throats at every opportunity they see fit.
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.
