Re: How can we remove in-game advert notifications/banners?

@Astropithecus_93 Extremely short answer? No there is no way of moving it without breaking the TOS.

I too will keep this short. You should not see the banner pop up more than once during a game play session unless you are crashing, getting errors or are abusing the exploit to disconnect/reconnect yourself from a game so you do not lose points in ranked.(which means it will constantly pop up on your screen). Every time you are killed and returned to the lobby then you should be "readying up" while looking/using your phone (as I do most of the time). Naturally everybody sees a specific part of the screen when we look at something, which is denoted in the following links:

So it is not your natural instincts looking at that particular banner in the bottom right corner, but you specifically. If it REALLY bothers you that much just play another game. I stand behind Respawn on this decision on a unified front.

@MoNosDirtyGaming I studied optics, it doesn't work exactly like that.
My concern was why did they have to force something in my face? That thing is in the central area of my vision. I get it you are giving a solution which is quite close in using the phone and try to avoid looking at the screen while in lobby. Also what hapenned is that I even got a warning before "action on my account" because "there is no place for politics or religion here" so why would they force politics into my face? (Firstly that big black screen wasn't something I wished for and that was pure force in my face, I had to click a button to make it go away. I agree too to be unite and ecc, but I really didn't want to get into a videogame and get lectured about politics and a completely biased opinion by the way. They themselves said they want to keep in-game the game only and no politics or religion at all, which was contradictory.
By the way the main solution I see that whoever is too bothered about that to not play at all (a guy had his post removed and maybe even got a warning for saying this), or how I did (ocurred to me not long ago) is once I got an apex pack I just don't open it so I won't see any politics message on my screen at all.

At the end of the day, we all wanna unwind and chill playing a videogame that's what most of us gamers want without being fed into our faces anything extra.
