TheGamer's Andy Kelly says: "I've just returned from a two-week vacation in Greece–a beautiful, sun-soaked land of gods and mythic heroes. I didn't follow in those legends' footsteps, however, having spent most of the trip sweating uncontrollably while eating gyros. But I did find time to soak up a bit of history between mouthfuls of pork and tsatziki-stuffed pita, including a visit to the famous Sanctuary of Delphi.
If you're a fan of Assassin's Creed Odyssey you'll be very familiar with this place. Considered the centre of the world by the ancient Greeks, this sacred precinct located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus was home to the Pythia, a soothsaying oracle. It's one of the most popular archeological sites in Greece, and I was lucky enough to visit it twice; at first with a guide, then exploring at my leisure."
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.
