Oooo, that happens and I'd make it a point to contact the manufacturer/creator of said advertised product or service and politely inform them that because of the interruption of MY TIME, while relxing in a game, I will now never, ever consider their company, goods or services.
Make it formal, concise and final and if possible send it to the CEO. You want that one to come down on the head of whomever decided to insert themselves into a player's game - get them in trouble with the boss - with a vengeance.
It often works.
While I agree people should oppose this, I really don't think the head of Microsoft gaming decision or the current Microsoft CEO would care about your letter and most likely it wouldn't even reach them.
I think they mean if the advertised product. So like if Kleenex buys the ad space they'll let kleenex know they're boycotting them and why, not Microsoft.
Oh you're completely right. I misread it the first time. 🙂
