Free games? In THIS economy? Well, in exchange for your eyeballs at least. (Figuratively, not literally… although don’t give them ideas.)
Whilst I’m very much against ads this could be a good way to get a free “demo” of a game. Seen as basically zero games have demos anymore, being able to play the first 15-30 mins for the price of watching a couple ads before buying could be worth it.
As long as they don’t charge while showing you ads, this sounds alright. Subscriptions with ads are unbelievable greed that I will never buy into.
It won’t start that way. Give it a few years and an under-performing quarter and it’ll happen.
Yeah, I have that same skepticism when they announce these things. Only a matter of time before the rest of us see some ads but pay just as much if not more. I’m hoping they don’t.
