Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

I'm so done buying console games, and consoles.

Not just because of this shit either. Games just run better on my PC. Like, a LOT better. Only thing I really use PS5 for anymore is playing blu-ray movies.

Hate when this shit is pulled, wonder if it om the pro. Imagine paying pro prices for unstoppable ads.

This is also directly targetted to people giving additional money. If you are connected to the internet you are likely, or previously, a subscriber. If you are not paying a sub you are more likely to disconnect and not be affected.

It was only a matter of time.

All for the low low price of most of your money, most of your spare time, and most of "the best years of your life"

Build a gaming rig on Newegg credit, pay it off interest free in 12-24 months depending on current deals.

Noticed this last night. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a game old AF has advertisement for Merch.

Jedi Survivor adre rises the EA gaming pass or whatever.

This is super shitty!
