If Ads Are Coming, How Can It Suck As Little As Possible? | POPULATION: ONE | Page 1

Ad space exists in Pop ONE in the form of billboards and signs (especially in Metro)

And it's going F2P. So...

How to make this as un terrible as possible?

Allow the ability to disable ads, maybe based on some kind of reasonable periodic Bureau Gold purchase, at some point you get it for life?

People who bought the game before F2P was announced get grandfathered in for 1-2 years no ads, maybe more depending on BG

Related to this maybe players get BG each match because of ads? Almost like revenue sharing lol. F2P players and people who leave ads on. Will need to adjust item BG prices and BG cost and also adjust people's existing BG balances, but could work? "Verified" people get more 🤔

Ads as innocuous as possible. No flashing no distracting movement. Let us report bad Ads.

I think that’s jumping to conclusions

I don’t see in game ads coming immediately.

They said it’s going to be free to play but if new players want to get rewards past level 10, they have to pay 750 Bureau Gold, and all us previous players get automatic rewards past 10. And it’s $20 on steam, the f2p is quest 2 & pro only I believe

Or during the black screen between rounds

Definitely, that was the existing ad space I was referring to, I will update the original post 🙂

Hopefully if anywhere, just in those spaces

Soooo can I pay for add space in PopOne? I have a few choice messages that would be great to have scrolling in game🤣

Honestly I never pay attention to the signs. They just are not important to the game.

I mean I am trying to not die

As long as they don't cut to commercial while I am in the middle of a fire fight.

#

But to be honest, I really don't think pop1 is big enough to generate much as revenue.

Those in game signs would be basically just like sponsors at hockey rinks or whatever

Agreed not much $ but cost to change/update the graphic would be low I'd assume and there some that likely would more than cover that and some to make it worthwhile....
Imagine the level of trolling that could take place....
"shovvtime stop running away" just scrolling along the billboard 🤣🤣

We'll see. But the 'Ads Space' reporting by The Verge was in reference to the AR Glasses division of Reality Labs
