    Looks like some people didn't click the link giving you an Ant-Man cover.

    I KNEW you were jerking us around, but you can be damn sure I immediately went into the game and clicked the link, just to be sure. Well done.

    Seriously...why is everyone so bent out of shape on this issue? Hell, why is it even an issue?

    Because many consumers HATE ads. Look at Hulu. This year, they started an upgraded subscription service allowing viewers to SKIP ads if you pay an additional 4 bucks a month on top of the regularly monthly $7.99 fee. And I'm sure there are subscribers who paid up.

    And if you go to the movie theater, there are a LOT of people who come in late for a showing JUST to avoid the ads that are shown before the film itself.
    The popup in game didn't bother me because it's a free game... but I absolutely agree about Hulu and movies at the theaters and their commercials.

    I used to watch Hulu for free online, and I'd suffer through the commercials because I was watching it for free. But when I found out that even the paid subscription had commercials, it was an absolute No Go for me. I will not pay for access to something, then be forced to watch advertisements... forcing advertisements is not something you do to a paying customer.

    At least the commercials they show before movies come on before the advertised Show-Time. The previews start at the advertised show time. And I love the previews.

    Did clicking the ad actually give out a cover? Cos...I'm gonna start kicking myself if it did 8I

    Had no reason to view the trailer because I saw it in cinemas and bought the blu ray. (Fun film, y'all should check it out).

    Yeah, right after I post my message, the banner returns.

    I don't really mind advertisements, as mentioned before, it is a free game, so as long as they're not deceitful or nagging, I feel like it's fine.

    I do admit, this one was a little annoying, since it was exactly the same and it popped up every time the game thought I reconnected (i.e. sometimes multiple times per session).

    I don't mind ads when the game gives you free premium content like FF. ( over the last week future fight has given me lord knows how much in free energy because of a happy gm. I'll close a few ads for their other games, especially with a cool looking update in the works)

    In this game, yeah. Nope. I've very little good will unfortunately.
