The Sims 4 Marketing has gone too far

So now, every time you open the Sims 4, a pop up will come up, showing you a random DLC you don't own, and telling you to buy it, even with a timer at the bottom. The items are completely random and not on sale

What do you think about this?
I think it's horribly intrusive and unnecessary. It really shows where this company's priorities are- MONEY!
Why don't they work on improving the actual game rather than trying to sell their overpriced DLC??
I thought Ubisoft was bad, this might be a new low!

In my opinion it's not a big deal, it was much worse in TS3. Ads pushing you to buy new content from the sims store was always at the top of CAS, in the world selection it showed all the worlds from the store you don't have, even in build-buy there was ads pushing sims store content and even on the launcher there was ads about the sims 4 and other content.
A few non-intrusive graphics about other packs on the main menu instead of pictures of the packs you have really doesn't bother me

Yes, but you can turn those adds off.

Wow just click off of it.
Let those that pay full price for packs float your wait for sales.

No offense, but the rolling eyes emojis is a bit rude. Just because you don't find it annoying doesn't mean others do. And again, if you don't find it annoying, why did you comment on this thread?
