Build a gaming rig on Newegg credit, pay it off interest free in 12-24 months depending on current deals.
Hate when this shit is pulled, wonder if it om the pro. Imagine paying pro prices for unstoppable ads.
This is also directly targetted to people giving additional money. If you are connected to the internet you are likely, or previously, a subscriber. If you are not paying a sub you are more likely to disconnect and not be affected.
I think this was my last console, I'll return to PC.
All for the low low price of most of your money, most of your spare time, and most of "the best years of your life"
wow, hold me back.
Noticed this last night. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a game old AF has advertisement for Merch.
Jedi Survivor adre rises the EA gaming pass or whatever.
This is super shitty!
Ban advertising.
Honestly. Start from a hard demand to destroy this infesting industry. Make them justify bribing middlemen to throw propaganda in your face. Allowing it wherever and whenever, as a business model, is incompatible with every random widget having a screen and an internet connection. You're gonna take a shit at a sports bar and stare at a life-size animated has-been, shilling some quasi-medical subscription drug. Or unlock your phone and see every dot is a different logo. Or turn your television off and notice the LCD still reflects a forty-inch-tall brand name.
No more "by existing you agree to--" either. Fuck that noise, even if wormtongue sleazeballs claw back their right to shit in your brain. Laws mean nothing if the corporations they bind can just write 'nuh-uh.' When, not if, we beat back this miserable cult of tricking people into buying things, it will not be permitted to commit these abuses, just because they said they could.
Shame on console
