Ubisoft already incorporated their storefront into their in-game menu’s. Thats why i don’t really buy that they were testing this out and had that tweet ready to go out as soon as complaints started

Yeah ea Skate 1 was the first game I saw doing this. They had miracle whip & T Mobile billboards in game and I think in the later games they would even update/change over time

Right? Need for Speed Underground 2 had ads all over for Cingular Wireless and Burger King. Ads in games aren't new.

Now that pause menu flub would be irritating because it would make the pause/map button the advertize button. That would be annoying as hell. But hey, they fixed it.
Y’all 100% correct but I was referring to loading up Madden/2k and getting bombarded by mtx ads. Also if you’re playing an older version you’ll be reminded that the new one is out before you even get to the main menu.
