They could offer it for free instead with that.

If the game is not good on its own and requires ads to be profitable… Then it’s not worth buying anyway

Free games with MTX and ads and shit are all the rage anyway

Im still baffled by all the money some games make off cosmetics.
Cosmetics in paid loot boxes are a serious issue, but if you can make money to help pay for your game with cosmetics, all the more power to ya, but i don’t understand it hah.

Thinking in terms of “need” is wrong for a business. They aren’t there to make a good product and the money is just to cover all the costs. Their goal is profit maximization. If there’s profit they could be extracting, but aren’t, they won’t make the numbers bigger and the shareholders will be sad.
Ads are a gas. They expand to fill all available space. If there’s a place an ad COULD go, then it WILL go there eventually.
