    Why is the Pringle adverts getting removed on the Bakerloo line for the PS5 and PS4 players that is not fair

    I think they were never supposed to be there in the first place on PlayStation. Personally can’t wait for them to be removed from all platforms.

    You get carpet bombed by ads your whole life, wherever you set foot, and you still want to see them in the game?

    Pringles taste amazing and can munch them all day. However do I want Pringles adverts on a game I'm playing? Not particularly.

    Edit: Or any advert for any produce for that matter.

    To be honest I liked see the "real world" adverts.
    The reason why they were removed is that the Pringles promotion is only available on the Xbox and PC version of TSW.
    Hopefully we may hear something on when we get the bidstack adverts scheme at some point.

    It would be nice if you could turn them off on all platforms. I just think this whole thing is stupid

    The reason I don't like them is that I didn't pay for a game with advertising. They were added in later. With other advertising (bidstack) you have the have the option to turn ads off. (And it doesn't work where I live anyway). So the pringles stuff is forced on me. Fine for people that like them, but I see enough adverts in day to day life, I don't need it in my playtime. Especially not for Junk Food that I will never eat.

    Each to their own I suppose, but I love having real world ads in a simulation. At the end of the day it adds to the authenticity of the created world. It would be different if ads popped up in the centre of your screen during loading, but on billboards.... no problem!

    I see what you're saying, my problem is that we ONLY have Pringles commercials and nothing else that is quite immersion breaking to me

    Personally I don't know why DTG don't sell space on in-game poster boards to real world companies. It would provide variety to the experience (especially if they changed every few months), add to real world immersion and bring in more revenue to pay for development of future routes

    They do. If you turn on bidstack advertising in settings. Doesn’t work in all countries though And it’s completely optional.

    Bidstack is currently PC only but they are working to get certified on the console platforms - as soon as that happens we'll enable it there.
