Public tests coming very soon.
You know, I hate ads, and I stopped my recurring Ultimate sub due to the price hike. However, I can ignore a 2 minute preroll if it means that once in a while, I can try out some random indie game.
But Jesus christ, a 5 hour monthly cap? That’s not even worth putting up with ads for. They really have lost the ability/want to keep customers.
Gonna take the time to plug network-wide ad blocking with Pi-hole or something similar.
I hope they really shit the bed and make ads appear like Achievements periodically. Complete with the same notification sound.
That explains the recent price increase. Like the TV streamers, they know they make more money from ad revenue than subscriptions. So, they want to funnel users to the “free” tier.

This is exactly why people stopped using cable television services, in favor of streaming. It seems we need another transition away from commercials, once again.
