    Advertising in general is a way for a person to show people they have a product worth buying, so the producer is able to make a living on it.

    This argument isn’t even about consumer protections anymore, it’s just anti-business. I’d be completely with you if there were only giant FAANGS corps in gaming, but there are also small developers trying to make a living.

    Also, the same example I’ve been using, I just now opened league, the homepage is defaulted to the latest patch overview. If you hit the play button you go straight to the lobby and from there into a match, all without seeing an advertisement. You’re making broad generalizations that only accurately describe some of the worst store models, and you’re generally acting like it’s a horrible thing for a business to pursue profits
