you aren't buying the game. shoes are not software. with software you purchase a license to use it based on terms and conditions. pretty basic legal speak. people who do not understand it should do some reading. otherwise, make your own video games and stfu.

People who make the games should do some reading, I buy games purely because I want to support the developer if they mess me about with ads, I'll get it for free, cracks aren't the only thing SKiDROW release.

One thing's for certain, say if I was at my internet usage limit and their little ad pushed me over it and cost me money? They haven't got the right to make my computer do what they want. I pay for the right to use the game code, how my computer chooses to execute it is entirely my buisness, they can't stop me from putting a piece of black cardboard over that area of the screen or editing the hosts file can they?

The world revolves around money, and businesses will capitalize wherever they can. Ads in games aren't new. No, they're not going to give you a break on the price of the game.
