Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…
Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be “fixing it”.
I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.
Now to figure out if I can block this.
That’s 'cause it wasn’t! Sony is “exceeding authorized access” – a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act – but won’t be prosecuted for $ome rea$on.
i guarantee you in the fine print they say they have the right to change anything they want any time.
“By loading this comment, you agree to give @grue@lemmy.world one million US dollars, payable in full within one week.”
See? Anybody can make up unconscionable bullshit. The extent to which Sony’s terms are enforced is only a measure of how many corrupt judges need to be gotten rid of.
Now, pay up!
