Ads in Need for Speed: No Limits
I've been playing this game for years by now, and after a few months since the beginning I started purchasing contents. My VIP status says I've nearly 418,000 points, whereas the max for level 10 is 150,000. So, let's say, I'm a paying user. However, I also use the ads-based feature to increase some of the in-game currencies, to decrease the time of waiting, and all those things.
I'm perfectly aware that the commercial health of the game relies a lot on what it can earn from ads, because I suppose free-to-play users are the vast majority, so I'm not suggesting to remove them. Nevertheless I would really like more quality control on the ads which are broadcast, and I'm not speaking of their contents (those are maybe based on algorhithms). For me it has always been sort of nonsensical having ads lasting more than 30 seconds in a game where the single races finish in 20-40 seconds, to start with. In some moments you spend more time in ads than playing. Then, there are some ads which makes you exit the game opening an external browser, which is not just annoying but also cause frequent crash the game itself. That means a lot of additional micromanagement in re-entering the game, and loss of time. In particular, in the recent months, the ads by Temu and Booking do that. They clearly are not optimised for this game.
Now, you could tell me "Do not wach ads since you pay", and I may do that even losing some advantage I may have despite a paying-user. The point is that those ads are achieving a sort of opposite effect, because, for instance, right now I'm definitely inclined never to use the services of the aforesaid Temu and Booking.
So, please, try to better select the ads based on their techinical specs and, possibly, their length.
