Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now...

Edit: Playstation Product Manager says this is actually a new bug. I really doubt it but they do seem to be "fixing it".

Crazy stuff... Ads everywhere. Makes my choice to not buy any console this generation seem a lot better. It saved me money and I don't get ads forced on me. I call that a win win.

Is steam deck a console? From this gen?

Either way it's pretty good. You don't even need to run their os if you don't want to.

I would argue that it's a handheld PC since it's not locked down to heck and back. It would also be the one thing I would buy but I have no use case for it so I don't.

Yeah, same. If I were going to get a handheld console, it's pretty much exactly what I'd want, but...I really don't need another portable computing device.
