So why are people OK with ads on the 360/One dashboard?

A political debate is a can't-miss deal? Most of the ads are for new, full-priced games/movies or even non-gaming, only the minority are for sales.

To me?  Yeah.

What about 30-60% off entire publishers IPs they offer monthly?

There are Arcade games that comes under the radar that only gets noticed when it's featured.

I would never know about Guacamelee for example. There are always sales it's not about minority or majority, it's about frequency.

Look, the majority of the ads I see on my screen have nothing to do with deals, and nor is it that frequent either. 4 ads being about non-gaming items and 1 ad on a sale is still horrible. And a political debate is the last thing on most peoples' minds when they turn on their Xbox to game.

You may love the ads, but I see them as a disrespect to consumers. Microsoft could have easily made them opt-out so people like you who seem to like ads can keep them, while people that don't can use that extra space for more productive uses.
