wasn't part of the reason I made an account about 2 years ago was so I wouldn't not be forced to watch ads everytime I want to play a game here? I had been playing things here for many years before that and pop up ads before games were never an issue. then I was told make an account and you wont be forced to watch ads again. now im being forced to watch ads again STOP IT.
Websites offering free online gaming need to raise money somewhere along the line as making, hosting and distributing games is not something that can be done without funding. Advertisements are a source to provide this funding, which is something that's inevitable.
Most advertisements have a "Skip this add" button showing after 5 seconds, which means they are giving you the option to disregard the advertisement and move on to the game pretty quickly.
Please understand this necessity and continue to enjoy the wonderful games hosted on this free website! Have fun! Game on! =)
I understand the reason for ads and that's why we have banners at the top and bottom of every game window, behind the window, and along the comments section. im fine with those. but I was told 2 years ago that if I did not want to be forced to watch an ad before a game all I needed to do was make an account. now you have gone back on the policy.
Hello!
I understand the reason behind ads, as you say, a website that offers games for free needs to be funded by ads. However, my pain is "Most advertisements have a "Skip this ad" button showing after 5 seconds..." with "MOST" being the imperative word. I'm not saying I like watching ads before playing, but 5 seconds are not the end of the world, and it is understandable. The problem is, that some ads are longer... a lot more longer. The agressive campaign for advertising wargaming.net games seems to have reached this site, because almost always I have to watch World of Warplanes ad over and over again, which is about 20 seconds. Well, at least its about a game, so maybe this is the right place to advertise it, but it is annoyingly long.
BUT! Yesterday I had to watch a ONE MINUTE long ad about a museum which is not even close to me. There were no skip button or anything. As a registered user I find this way too much. The "5 second ads" are OK, but to watch an ad for a minute about something you are entirely uninterested in is not OK.
but I was told 2 years ago that if I did not want to be forced to watch an ad before a game all I needed to do was make an account. now you have gone back on the policy.

I've been tagged to see an ad for AARP techie something. It won't load, even when I go to youtube. but it is the default ad for me for EVERY game. Can't play at all. Kind of stuck
