Let’s hope we never see this type of ‘technical error’ again.
Ubisoft blames “technical error” for showing pop-up ads in Assassin’s Creed::Ubisoft started displaying a fullscreen pop-up ad in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey this week. It was caused by a technical error.
Anyone that thinks this wasn’t intentional is a fool. They are just testing the waters.
Bad feedback? Then shelve it and try it again in a couple years. Regardless, Pandora’s box as been opened and all the other game companies now will be eyeing this new ‘feature’ for future implementation real soon.

Forza games have had full screen ads for the past 3 or 4 games and it has yet to affect sales.
what kind of ads were these?
had not heard of this before.
“Technically, we thought no one would complain this much.”
The real error was that they built the mechanism to do it to begin with.
Shit, I was all set to buy Mirage this week but not now.
So technical. Such error
BS. They got caught, had no back up excuse and flopped out this excuse
