Ubisoft has responded to the situation, claiming that the pop-up ad for Assassin's Creed Mirage was caused by a technical glitch.

“It was a bug” is the common excuse when an intentional feature backfires.

Loading screen ads seem like an obvious next step of enshittification. They are creeping back into video with ads breaks on streaming, only a matter of time before they are in games too.

In b4 they artificially lengthen load times for more ads
