I’ll be not surprised. It’s Sony we are talking about.

Xbox does not have full screen ads.

Tbh I believe it was an error. Some of the stuff being shown was extremely old. Like “go see the new spider verse movie coming soon”

Doesn’t sound like a thing that is working correctly

Not intentional and an error for sure, but a planned “feature” for sure.

Ad-hell is definitely gonna get worse.

I mean, YouTube is working on the whole “Ads during paused videos” thing.

You can be damned sure the “console commanders” are like-minded in their plans for your home-entertainment devices.
