That’s not the point I was making in the post. I was just showing what was happening with it. I’ve also been a paid subscriber to it on and off; my gripe with it is that it already takes about 5 to 10 minutes to queue into the service (Priority queue for paying ofc), but with this new system it will only start to add you to the queue after you watch the pre-rolls. If it played them while you were stuck in queue, that’d be no big issue to me.

starting March 5, 2024, members will experience up to two minutes of video sponsorship messages before each free gaming session while in queue.

I take that to mean that they are playing the ads while you’re already in que waiting for your session
