Ubisoft can go fuck themselves with their little “accident”. I haven’t bought one of their games in years amd this greedy corpo shit paired with lackluster games is exactly why.
A technical error doesn’t result in popup ads. The code had to already be there.
“Sorry we showed you the ad before the black Friday return window lapsed.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ubisoft is blaming an unspecified “technical error” for a fullscreen pop-up ad that appeared in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey this week.
Reddit users say they spotted the pop-up on Xbox and PlayStation versions of the game, with an ad appearing just when you navigate to the map screen.
“This is disgusting to experience while playing,” remarked one Reddit user, summarizing the general feeling against such pop-ups in the middle of gameplay.
“We have been made aware that some players encountered pop-up ads while playing certain Assassin’s Creed titles yesterday,” says Ubisoft spokesperson Fabien Darrigues, in a statement to The Verge.
Either way, the intent of adding pop-ups into the middle of a game you’ve paid for is rather “gross” as one Reddit commenter puts it.
Imagine a world full of games you’ve paid $70 for and then ads popping up in the middle of gameplay.

How the fuck do you accidentally add popups
You don’t - it’s a bullshit excuse. It’s like a 5 year old with their hand in the cookie jar saying “I didn’t mean to do it.” Yes you did, little Jimmy, what you didn’t mean to do was get caught. Now blow that idea up to a greedy, unethical, billion dollar corporation.
Rhetorical question haha, I know it’s bullshit. Popups take effort to create, you can’t just accidentally add them.
“You were not supposed to see that yet. Upsi dupsi”
That’s was just a little Oopsi-soft
