In-Game Ads To Reduce Sub Cost

Community General Discussion
1

What are your thoughts on this? Personally I’m fine with something like this as long as it doesn’t blatantly interrupt content, e.g. flight-path ads that don’t last beyond the duration of the flight.

Perhaps even just make it where you accrue a currency per ad which can be deposited into your Blizz balance (opening up shop items, shop mogs etc.)?

EDIT: To clarify, what I’m suggesting is an ad-supported sub/currency option to help lower the cost barrier for those who cannot afford a sub currently.

This was the plan of the villain from Ready Player One.

This also seems like something EA would do. So no. Advertisements are already a cancerous thing I have to deal with on Twitch now, and I don’t want it in my games.

Yeah, no thank you. I don’t watch TV anymore because of the amount of ads they have. I don’t need them in my games.

What about making ad-supported subs an option to lower the cost barrier and allow more to play?

That’s a big no, and pretty much why I can’t get into phone games. I will pay not to see ads, is what I’m saying.

No because lfg chat is too awesome for me to want a risk getting distracted by an in flight ad.

No! I can’t say no enough on this one.

It’s only $15 dollars a month. It’s really cheap entertainment for a month as it is.
