Can't say I really care about whether MS drops an ad tier or not. It's the same as the whole Netflix situation for me. I'm never gonna use that low tier, so it's irrelevant to me. As such, I don't have much of an opinion on it. I feel like I very often see people sounding off on these offerings when they're very clearly not even the target audience, and I just don't really get it. Obviously, nobody who's already paying for various premium offerings on service XYZ is going to find an ad-tier of anything particularly appealing. But that's pretty irrelevant at the end of the day.

If I were to put myself in the shoes here, of someone who had to actually weigh the choice of subbing to an ad-tier version of GP for 3 bucks a month, I feel like I'd probably be far more bummed about the 6 month wait for titles than an ad or two playing on boot up. That'll happen once, and then, unless there's a crash, I'd have that game on quick resume until I've beaten it.

Yeah, and I think there's probably a lot of people like my nieces and nephews who have XBL for like a few games at most They probably won't even take advantage of the Game Pass aspect and they'd be fine with watching one ad per day and ultimately it comes out to cheaper for them to sign up to this rather than XBLG. Then maybe one day they do check out the Game Pass aspect.

As long as it isn't constant ads but the wording looks like one ad on bootup and that's it.
