Yeah because when one company does something shitty to make more money, other companies definitely don’t copy it. So as long as you don’t buy products from the first company, there’s no way it’ll ever affect you…right??? Big brain thinking
Well, if you avoid the games with ads, it reflects poorly on profits, and maybe someone might mention to the shareholders that the reason people won’t play their game is the invasive ads.
The reason why they still have their poopy launcher is that people adapted them, because tolerating the launcher was the requirement for them to (legally) play their games. Putting games behind a launcher did not teduce the profits enough to not continue doing so.
So yes, the way to combat this is to avoid their games thst implement ads.
I mean, this is literally my strategy. I’m okay not buying games from companies who utilize revenue tactics I don’t agree with. Some will adopt in game ads and a lot won’t. I’m pretty confident in my stable of devs that probably won’t have to drop them. And if I’m wrong? Oh well. They don’t get my money.
We found out why: to see if people would accept it so they can put 3rd party ads in their games next. Infinite growth is what investors expect!
I don’t play Ubisoft games so I don’t really care

There’s a difference between avoiding companies like Ubisoft (I do as well) and not caring that they’re doing it
Wow, you are really aggressive. Maybe work on your Reddit-Attitude.
