Sports games do it
They have game-interrupting full screen ads? Our just product placement. Because only the former is banned
I guess not interrupting because players don’t view having to click through ads to get to the menu as interrupting
Which game makes you click through ads to get to the menu?
Does it count if they are ads for things in the game I am playing? Cuz that seems to be pretty standard in a lot of MP shooters these days where every time you log in, you're bombarded with what are basically ads for new skins, events, features, etc.
What the other person said is what I’m referring to
though the nhl games put actual ads on the boards and pause menu that change on updates cycles
So like Fifa,Makes sense tbh.
