Let’s hope we never see this type of ‘technical error’ again.

    So just stating the obvious, as it’s on a technical platform. So are they running an AI that made this ad and put it into a directory that was accessible by the game services runtimes? Or….did you get caught trying some dodgy shit in a fully paid product. It’s more morally right to have a cracked backup of everything of theirs you own or don’t because in their eyes you clearly don’t own what you paid for.

      Even taken at face value, it means that they purposely built the ability to have an ad pop up not just on the main menu screen, but anywhere… or at least (giving them a strong benefit of the doubt) on the map screen.

      The “error” was that someone popped it into the “show up on map” area of their code and not the “show up on the main menu” area of their code… but the bigger, more glaring problem is that it is even allowed to be a thing that exists as an option.

      So even with all that allowance, the fact that it can be a thing is absolutely terrible and it doesn’t matter that it happened as an accident, but it shouldn’t be an option regardless… is the point of my rambling.
