Here we go... Also, if you bother to look into the settings of the game, you might find that you can already turn them off, and SCS never said they will fill the game with ads, the funny thing is that those "ads" have been there since the 1.47 beta and nobody complained about them, but now that SCS "officially announced" them, a lot of people are having a meltdown...

SCS should have written a better blog post about billboards advertisement... Every place I read there is comments asking for an option to disable it, this would avoid a lot of trouble and maybe even showing it when they added in 1.47 beta.

Asking for people to just read the config all times is not the best solution since it can be done with less than 10 words in the official blog post.

I don't really understand all the hate towards the billboards. Yeah, we're bombarded with advertisements everywhere in life, but if Schneider or whoever wants to partner with SCS I think that's a good thing. Those types of billboards exist in real life and if we get their trucks and trailers as AI vehicles in the game at some point that just adds realism.

Even if they branch out into other non-trucking products where a company would pay SCS to get their virtual billboards in the game I don't see it as that intrusive.
What would be bad is if the game was like YouTube and it randomly paused and made you watch a 15 second commercial. I realize that others will disagree, but the billboards aren't really a negative for me.

If there was never a blog about the billboards, 98% of the community would have never noticed. People are making a huge deal over nothing. Schneider approached SCS. SCS did not approach Schneider. This has reation to features. Features are coming. Billboards are not new in the game

Disable the ads and move on if you rather not see them. No point in dragging on the topic if it can be disabled. Its no different than fake ads in the game. Nobody saying anything about them. People went to mods to make real ones. Why wgen SCS makes one, its different? For some reason because it's a real company that actually wanted in on ATS, it's bringing a lot of attention for the wrong reason. It shouldn't even matter. It doesn't affect our driving what so ever.
