There are plenty of ad-free things to do (for now) so they can keep their fucking games. Advertising should be illegal.

Microslop can hire me for CSO. I have zero qualification for the position but when the best your CSO can come up with is ads I can come up with that for a fraction of the costs.

Does he think we're not buying halo and gears and them because we can't afford them? It's because they carve out the heart and soul of those games, all that is left is a husk of their former glory.

Games that are worth it I will gladly pay 60 dollars for. Hell I'll pay more for a game that is worth it. A game like rdr2 I would pay more for, well over 300 hours in it and with so much care and detail they earned it. How did halo infinite earn my money in comparison?

Ads in games is almost the only thing keeping me on the xbox and away from "free" mobile games.

Take that away from me. See how it goes for us.

I was a huge halo fan since 2004 and even I didn't bother to buy the infinite campaign.
