Many other mobile games allow the players to watch ads for in game benefits. This gives free-to-play players a way to contribute to the financial success of the game (in a small way) without actually having to pay money, just time. Has this lack in SWGoH ever been explored/explained? I'd love to watch a 30 second ad to get an extra daily challenge, or some extra energy, or maybe even crystals. It would help the game developers get money through the ad revenue, get me extra goodies, and all without breaking my bank.

please don't !!!That's why I like swgoh …You can watch 5 ads max. and get kinda 50 crystals from that, the benefits are mediocre in comparison. You won't get e.g. 5,000 crystals for watching 25 ads per day.

Besides—folks who spend can watch ads, too, and will just get more out of it than you.

I already get enough ads in this game as it is about some game changer youtube videos. We don't need more

There's really no option to do so at the moment. You can only spend crystals to get more energy to spend at the holotables. What if you could instead watch an add? Maybe a 30 second ad awards 20 energy (so one extra sim of a hard node). Wouldn't that be an option that some might like to take to preserve their crystals?I just don't see why "The lack of ads is one of the best things about the game." I would like some more explanation."Give a mouse a cookie" protocol.If you suddenly start introducing ads as optional, then the publisher starts asking why ads aren't implemented more to build revenue. Then suddenly you boot up the game a year later and you're greeted by an ad before you can play the game, then an ad to collect bonus energy. Ads are death to a mobile game.

It doesn't look very aestheticly pleasing though, which even I'm surprised to say is a big deal for me

We’re playing in a cantina for crying out loud, you don’t watch ads in cantinas for rewards.
Besides, the goal of the devs is to cut down time people have to spend on the game. Ads would be so annoying and time consuming.

The lack of ads is one of the best things about the game.

Why are you suggesting this? One of my favorite parts of swgoh is the fact that there’s no ads. Now CG will see this and say, "the community wants this! Let’s put ads in!"

Yeah they will probably try to implement this and not needed updates like Republic ones lol

There's no such thing as optional ads. Once you implement benefits to watch ads, I'd be forced to watch it in order to match up against any benefits that all other players have access to.

Them 5 free Bronziums a day already used to be ads, you had to scroll past all their advertisements(aka bundles) before you could open Bronziums. Now that it's the first item on the list, I've not had to see their advertisements in a long long time and I'm very happy.

So we have the slippery slope argument and the "it's not optional" arguments. The slippery slope is in fact a logical fallacy. The "it's not optional" argument, while not a true fallacy, is simply you choosing to do something. It's your choice to do an optional thing. Not having that option is what takes the choice away. Ancient Romans didn't have the option of driving a car to work, they rode horses or walked. You could walk or ride a horse too. If you instead choose to drive to work, it's because you have decided it is cost-effective to do so. If you choose to watch an ad, it's because you have decided it's worth your time to do so. Therefore you are benefiting from the existence of ads. Basic economics.
