I don’t know if this has been discussed before but after what Ubisoft did recently I had the question: What would you think of a system in which you purchase lite versions of games which are cheaper but there are ad breaks?

It’s such a slippery slope. Companies would soon turn it from “watch ads to pay less” to “watch ads to not pay more”

Eventually I’m just going to find other things to do. I am not ok with this model in any way whatsoever. Because all it would end up being is a way for them to charge more and put ads in. It would be alright for about six months until an IP that everyone buys fucks the whole system up and everyone else follows suit.

Have you never seen any “pay less with ads” thing?

Netflix with ads is more expensive than Netflix was about 5 minutes earlier.

Hey OP, add Edit 3: I am dumb that this has been discussed years before and didn’t realise mobile games are free with ads or paid to have it removed BECAUSE NO ONE WILL PAY FOR A GAME WITH ADS.

What you want to profit from sales and profit from ads on top. It is either or none, ads are for profit otherwise it wont be a multi billion dollar industry and just having ads in paid games in any way will only lead to full priced games with ads as the game companies are driven to profit and are always striving to milk every single dollar from customers with less effort to do so.
