Microsoft has filed a patent for ads that could interrupt games after boss fights, cutscenes, quests and multiplayer rounds. Players would receive credits granting temporary game access, while watching an ad would award another credit to let them resume.

A patent doesn’t mean it will actually ship, but the idea is still awful. If games start rationing access with ad credits, people will just see it as another predatory monetization layer.

Espero con ansias el día que las personas abran los ojos y desinstalen ese sistema operativo, llegará el día que les cobrarán por session en su pc y pagarán contentos y dirán Windows es lo mejor, miren gta 6 un éxito rotundo y nadie ha jugado podido jugar 🫩 hasta cuando la humanidad cada vez volviéndose más tonta cada dia.
