Would work in some games I guess, like Forza. But if they start doing washing powder ads in Hellblade, I’ll jump ship lol.

I doubt they’d do it in 1st party, it’s an initiative to help 3rd party f2p games make more money.

@Vivir

give me the feature where i can remove ads on my dashboard first

I’ve given up, almost every system I use in 2022 has ads in some capacity, but at least just move them somewhere else where they don’t ruin the home dashboard screen, oh and two tiles aren’t even real ads but social activity or achievement tracking which I don’t even care about the slightest and don’t benefit anyone really but ruin the home screen and hide make the background almost useless

Yeah, that is fine hehe. You never know where these things end up though if it’s a success.

How much time (and why?) do you spend on the dashboard? Bit weird hehe.

What would happen to my Back Compat games if Xbox tried to not have a disc slot on the next console?

At that point I would call the “commitment to forward compatibility” a bunch of hot air

What if it’s compatible with USB disc drives? I see that as a happy compromise when that day eventually comes. Not like Windows doesn’t have the drivers and stuff baked in anyway.

To Nintendo I guess?

@Shakez

This is just a random guess, with their newfound thirst for GaaS games they might get a studio that’s good at them.

CDPR lines up more with their older cinematic experience views

As if Sony is now going to do only games-services. Interesting logic sir

Honestly personally very little but I still hate it, it totally ruins the look. Sometimes when I go from offline to online those 3 tiles don’t show at all for like 3 seconds and the home screen looks so much cooler and cleaner without them and you could actually appreciate the background lol

I believe in Forza it would be fit quite nicely. Or do they already have it? There are banners but I don’t remember.

I’m sure they have ad stuff in 1st party, just not what this system is being built for.

If you’re playing games you wont see the dashboard promotional spots…

[TheBrightestSun]

@Doncabesa

I believe they are trying to automate it somehow right? Like “game A has some ad spaces, do bidding for them” etc.

Though mobile games have been having ads for years already and I have been always saying that all the games are going towards mobile direction.

[Zonky]

People forgetting Sony trademarked some in game dynamic advertising system not long ago.

@Jorge_Alexander_Acos

I so expected that to be a Crackdown 3 spot with Terry going into his other commercial persona.

[Jorge_Alexander_Acos (Jorge Alexander Acosta Duarte)]

Nah I prefer their $70 GAAS with mobile like micro transactions.

But you still have banners on the roads there no?
