So fucking annoying when im playing some other game and everytime i click something i have to wait 45 seconds to watch some car insurance commercial when i dont have a car. Please just feel my gratitude when i say thank you for not doing this shit to me.

Isn't that mainly due to the fact that LoL isn't a mobile game?

I'm pretty sure the majority of PC/Mac games don't have ads in them and only mobile games do...

You've been playing battle royale mobile games haven't you..

wait what games are you even talking about?

No Blizzard game does that, League doesnt do that, Nintendo games dont do that.

What are you talking about? League has ads. Do you not go on youtube? They have these obnoxious 2+ minute videos that start at the beginning of my videos where they blatantly say "Sure, our community is toxic, our learning curve steep and new player experience abyssmal but you'll like it here!" Any ad that is more than 30 seconds shouldn't exist. The only ads I hate more than leagues are those cancerous PragerU ads, which are even longer and are blatant propaganda videos aimed at proselytizing the young millennial generation to vote republican. Fuck off PragerU and fuck off Riot.

There are like 4 main ways to monetize games.

  1. Purchase the game once, own it. Mostly for console games.
  2. Buy a subscription for the game, pay monthly but the game should update consistently. (WoW is probably the best example)
  3. Ads (Mostly on older websites like neopets, but they often added other things to monetize because it's not profitable enough)
  4. Microtransactions (League is all Microtransactions, and it's probably the best system for growing a userbase, because people effectively pay what they want)

Well..... it's not a mobile game so, yeah. Of course it doesn't have ads. If you got ads on a pc game though, then you're playing some pretty shitty games. lol
