    Planetside 1 did this 20 years ago. There were screens in the waiting rooms for the shuttle in each faction’s sanctuary world where they would play real-world commercials while you wait. Hard to find any info on it, it was so long ago

    Just don’t play Microsoft games. They crippled or outright destroyed all their former good game studios anyway. So it’s not like they will be making great games you can’t live without anyway.

    Its so amazing that we had so many routes to make things better and better. Technology promised such an amazing future. Of course, greed ruined that and here we are. We fumbled the bag people…

    Micro$oft will be the next Google advertising company, with a browser & software as it’s side hustle. Advertising is a cancer.
