Xbox owners who want to avoid controversial new feature
Furious Xbox owners are still in unwavering opposing a planned upgrade, and could even be as extreme as refusing to use this feature. Xbox Series X/S over it.
It’s almost as if 2023 was the year that Xbox gained its rhythm again. The dazzling showcase that took place in June sparked excitement for the new console’s future, as well as the reactions to Starfield generally confirms that Microsoft is the one to match-up against PlayStation.
Unfortunately, every now and then rain will come. This is why gamers are extremely worried regarding statements made by Microsoft Executive Sarah Bond which imply we could see advertisements playing within the Xbox games.
“We spend a significant amount of our time thinking about how we create diverse business models; what we do to create more possibilities,” said Bond told Rolling Stone.
“We often talk concerning Game Pass because subscription is the most recent option we expanded: there was pay-to-play as well as free-to play which was followed by Game Pass. We’ve discussed the ways we’re testing other methods, for instance what this mean for advertisements in games that is the most common in mobile games There are models which work on PC or console? Are there any other models that there are timed segments of games, and things such as this?” she added. “Providing creatives with a variety of options and choices allows the creators to play around and try things they enjoy to create an experience that is more engaging and imaginative that don’t have to be molded into an existing mold.”
Although nothing has been set in stone, many have been quick to criticize the notion.
“I’ll be selling my Xbox at the point they begin making games that feature advertisements. Imagine being the one who is so from the rest of the pack and you’re response will be… additional ads on your dashboard stuffed with ads,” One Twitter user wrote.
“Same! Switch off my Xbox when they decide to make this happen,” replied OldPixel1984. “Ads on games. They don’t understand of what people would like. She has no taste.” said @Jackgamer74. This is a bit rough.
Although Microsoft isn’t yet confirming that it is going to put advertisements in games but it’s not the first time that a firm has tried this. EA had to face a lot of criticism after they put ads in UFC 4, and then quickly deleted. In the past, some fans have described Warner Bros. Games as shameful in the event that Hogwarts Legacy advertisements were discovered within Mortal Kombat 11.
