“Pay the 5 dollars and shut up” is savage advice. Tho of course good advice for getting rid of pop up ads.

But doesn’t address OPs point of excessive corporate advertising. As a paid customer, I don’t see pop up adds, but I’m still constantly advertised to both semi-willingly through “watch ads” and now more recently, unwillingly through various in game ads in the form of game billboards, paint jobs, fake car movie plugging, and toy car company footsie-ing.

To me it’s an interesting question: how much corporate advertising is acceptable in a free to play game like A8 with micro transactions? A relevant question that SHOULD be questioned and talked about. Especially since we’re seeming greed ruin good games more and more these days.

And OP brings up a good point: micro transactions or advertising? Pick one GL! There WAS A8 cannon, that Vivendi is distroying. It was shallow and without depth, but still it was respected amongst A8 players: a world of fantastical competitive racing of real cars (which IS an advertisement for car companies yes. So why we need to go beyond that?)

Same as EA Battlefront’s debunked no cosmetics non-argument, I’d love to see GL work with car companies to have new and custom decals, plus individual player and team logos. Monetize THAT GL. Stop retarding players progression through corporate-stupid.
