I don’t wanna sound like a whiny baby but I honestly do not appreciate the popups advertising non-blizzard games. Yes I know, blizz are basically activision now and the good devs are all gone but this is just rubbing it in our faces at this point.
It’s annoying enough as it is not being able to hide the games from activision specifically from the battle.net client. I mean, I don’t know many people who play cod games who also play wow/ starcraft do you? CoD has to be the lowest of low tier fps players in the world honestly, like fifa manager players. They’re just not really upto our ilk of good games yknow?

Which pop-ups? In the Launcher? Not really pop-ups there, exactly.
Anyway, I’ve stopped seeing them, which is a Good Thing. I just hit the Play button and alt-tab while the game loads. They did annoy me at first, but not enough to launch games manually, which you can still do.
Some of them ads are terible
It was a full popup which covered the entire client, I had to click off it for it to go. So basically I opened the client, was about to click launch then a huge CoD popup appeared covering the whole thing.
I’d call that a pop up personally, it’s not one of those adverts in the slider gallery on the front which, I still totally disagree with.

Awesome acting in some of them, especially the one with the black haired East European fella with the monotonous voice… XD

It’s like… 1 ad every couple of months ( game/expansion release ? ) that takes 1 seconds to click the X button on… come on.

Thank you. I saw a couple of those a couple of times, but I must be hardened, since I really have no idea what they were for.
So while I’m sure All Right-Thinking People would like to get rid of them, it doesn’t really ping my radar.
Just wondering how long people actually spend on the launcher that this causes them so much angst?
Its more of a hindrance imo.
I agree, the topic is ridiculous, i dont believe it can be a real concern

Oh you aren’t a “whiny baby” for not wanting games you don’t like shoved in your face. I hate even having them in the launcher to begin with.
Isn’t it funny how there’s never WoW ads in the CoD section ?
I despise it but I’ll say no more, last time I spoke about this I got hammer and sickled for a week lol too colorful langauge

in fact you exactly are given they are so rare and easy to close
No idea, never felt the need to go there when logging on.
Well, in the time it takes to “just close the ad and get on with it”, I can click in the CoD section and see there’s never WoW ads. Nobody is spending any amount of time on launcher unless they’re only back and checking the news, or afk or something.
It’s something I, and many others, have absolutely no interest in, in the slightest and it’s being advertised on our side of the launcher, it’s just annoying is all, nobody is getting angst over it. Frustrated is a better word.
i kinda liked the one on FB where the talk about themselves xD but on YT it really sucks D:<
