Sigh (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59821)
Sadly there are far too many people with the "It doesn't bother me" attitude, not necessarily on the Shack but other forums. While it would suck if there were ads from the start, at least then you'd know what you're getting into. But patching it into the game after people have already bought it with no benefit to them is just slimy.
It doesn't seem to get people annoyed enough. It happened before with at least one other game I know of (Counter Strike 1.6). Either have the ads from the start so people can decide if its something they want to deal with, or raise the price of the game so you don't have to put ads in in the first place.

Yeah that's straight up bullshit.

I'd be pissed. Glad I didn't buy it.

That sucks... I haven't played it in a while and I saw that they recently released some add-on content to it. I was contemplating getting it but if there's in game ads now and it increases load times... yea I don't think I'm gonna play it often anymore.
-
Well that sucks donkey balls. I have it! Damn them!

You know...I could halfway understand this if Wipeout were like a 10 dollar game or something. But it's 20 dollars. If you're going to have it ad-supported then at least make the expansions free.

Offending ad pulled (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59827).
The one causing the added loading time has been removed, but they aren't sure it won't be replaced with shorter ads. I don't like that it has them at all, but I guess we can't have everything.

Not anymore we can't.
