Games getting ridiculous with ads

[Shellcracker]

Have y'all noticed how free to play games are getting more and more ad saturated? Like used to you would only see ads maybe at start up and after so many minutes of playing. Now however they are at the end of every level , and even every time you lose a life an ad or two or three play. Like today I was playing snake vs blocks, and LITERALLY every time I died it went into ads.

And now not only are they more frequent, but instead of just one 15 second ad, it's usually 3 ads and you have to manually tap x yourself to get out of it when it finally finishes, and they've gotten cheeky about hiding the x button too. Is it just my experience or are ads in games getting totally out of hand? I was having fun playing snake vs blocks but I deleted it because I couldn't tolerate going into ads every single time I hit game over or whatever its called in that game. Annoying, grrrrrr.

Yeah I detest games with ads. The only one I have is a bubble shooter game but I can only play a few minutes due to all the ads.

Games with that amount of advertising tend to be very low quality to begin with, as if they are an advertising app with occasional gaming interruptions. Basically a cash grab by the developer. I just ignore those games all together, and reviews should be reflecting that problem. So you're left with 3, possibly 4 choices.

Accept it and keep playing.
Uninstall and walk away.
Find a better replacement.
Pay to remove ads if it's an option.

I thought it was unbearable nearly a decade ago and very rarely touch a game on Android that is free because of the ads.

Couldn't say if it recently got worse or not.

I find that Gameloft's Asphalt 9 strikes a good balance between ads and playability. You can play and advance pretty far without watching any ads, but if you choose to watch ads (the longest of which are usually about 30 seconds), you can get decent rewards that help you advance a little more quickly.

Like Gameloft's Dragon Mania Legends which I am addicted to

Yes, ads in games are longer and more frequent. Nearly every mouse click triggers an ad and most are > 30 secs. I'm deleting games I love because it is getting ridiculous.

I miss the days when you could purchase a game with a one-time payment, and not have to deal with ads or microtransactions.
