If you’re looking for a top gaming console, you pretty much have two options –PS5orXbox Series X. It’s a rivalry which has been around for decades, and shows very little sign of stopping anytime soon.
The suggestion did not go down well. In a Twitterthread, several users were vocal about their displeasure. One said they’d sell their Xbox the moment the feature was introduced, with several others echoing the sentiments. Another user even questioned how far the ads would extend, asking, “How long before commercial breaks cut into endboss battles?”
Personally, I don’t think this is the right approach, though. Certainly the idea of generating ads in paid-for games – Bond wasn’t clear on whether this was the considered option – seems like a terrible choice. I certainly wouldn’t be happy to have paid for a new game, only to find it littered with ads still.
I could see it working better on a free platform, though. There, users are more likely to accept the idea of ads, as they haven’t had to shell out for the title itself.
Whatever happens, it’s certainly going to be an interesting transition for the brand. One thing’s for sure, though – if Bond wants to avoid a mass exodus of Xbox users, it’s definitely going to need a rethink.
