Gamers in 5 years: "I don't mind ads in $90 AAA games as long as they're only in menus and loading screens, but mid-gameplay? That's too far."

Gamers in 10 years: "I don't mind ad breaks in $120 AAA games as long as they don't take longer than 3 minutes, but 5 minutes of ads per 10-minute match? That's too far."

NBA 2K introduced ads between quarters years ago, and the logic was ”but it's realistic, real NBA matches have ads too!”

I forgot where is heard/read it, but i remember someone saying that that player price sensitivity tend to go down the longer a play session is, and that is increased in times of perceived scarcity. If you can inspire "lack" in players in their loadout screen you just need them to keep playing and they'll fork over some extra coin to your MEGACORP sooner or later.
