Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

"Game will start after ad: 1 of 5" 😂🤣😭

A game you paid for. On a console you also paid for. And you also pay for PS Plus as well.

Don't give them ideas, holy shit. Ads are already present in some sports games, though, afaik

Well with sports games at least its "a realistic part of the experience"

Like when you watch a live sporting event on TV, there's always commericals in-between the action. In that sense it fits the meta.

Also, sports games are the worst, pay 80 bucks every year for an updated roster and tweaks to the mechanics.

What, you don't want to pay another 80 bucks for what could have been a content patch to last year's game? Pshhh... You're not a real fan.

Is what I would say if I were the type of guy who should take a long walk off a short pier.
