“Most agreed that promos about new games and other content are slightly more tolerable on the main menu before the game starts,”

If I see as much as a small banner ad in a game, I’m immediately refunding, and never purchasing a game from that publisher ever again.

Baldur's Gate 3 was probably the best game of this year (?), but it has an advert for the DLC as soon as you launch it

However, it's also probably one of the least-bad "triple A" games of this year when it comes to overall monetisation, that singular DLC of cosmetics and the soundtrack being the only one available

Unfortunately, I think this one is a losing battle
