The Japanese Nintendo Direct housed the oddest news when the company revealed that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will be playable on the console when it releases thanks to streaming. This cloud-based version of the game will only be available in Japan, but it raises a number of interesting questions about the future of video game streaming and its potential.
A fullscreen pop-up ad appeared in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for some players this week.
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.
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.

bu bu but i thought the switch can run any game and if the developers don't port to it then they are lazy...
Oh lord this concept really is spreading
Honestly, I'm not very enthusiastic about the idea of streaming becoming a bigger part of game consoles as a whole.
Not even in the Switch's case, despite the fact that it might allow it to run certain games that it would normally not be capable of running.
It just feels like it will turn into a slippery slope, with more problems than benefits, eventually...
I suspect Microsoft will push the same concept with Xbox next gen, since they have this 'no one left behind philosophy'. They probably will offer some kind of cloud based streaming version of more intensive games as an option to og Xbox one and Xbox one S consoles.
Streaming, where you feel like you're playing on potato internet without any thumbs
