Ubisoft blames “technical error” for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed::Ubisoft started displaying a fullscreen pop-up ad in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey this week. It was caused by a technical error.
horseshit, this was a canary launch. if we hadn’t thrown a fit we could look forward to “To turn on Seven Up Subtitles, press pause, wait for the unskippable ad to play, go the the ‘Settings Brought to You By Doritos™’ menu, select the ‘RAID Shadow Legends Options Menu’, wait for the unskippable ad to play, then select ‘Seven Up Subtitles’.”
‘oh no! I meant to send those to someone else! Please delete them! Unless…’
Please drink a verification can
Okay , but if this was a so-called accident, why is there even a function in the game for pop-ups?
It’s supposed to be in the game but in the main menu instead of the pause menu. They’ve had main menu popups for dlc for years, not sure if I’ve seen ads for other games before.
BS. They got caught, had no back up excuse and flopped out this excuse
I call bullshit!
This story has essentially caused a 20% off coupon for Assassin’s Creed Mirage to circulate my lemmy feed for the past 2 days. I am a chubby man with a weak heart that hungers for these types of comfort food games and this subliminal advertising is hard for me to resist.
