Xbox users booting up their console today were greeted with a large splash screen prompting them to buy it now that the new campaign is out, and some of them aren’t too happy about it.

    Remember the good old days when you got ads INSTEAD of directly paying rather than in addition to forking over already extortionate sums to profiteering megacorps? Pepperidge Farm does.

        Especially retroactively. I’m seeing that in a lot of apps. You buy it. A year later, ads regardless. That kind of chicanery should be illegal.

        Also, I sold my Xbox SX a few months ago. Dodged one 😅
