#Stupid game ads Patch#

Now we've got that explanation out of the way, let's just get real for a second: these advertisements are hilariously inept.

In-stage advertising only appears on the three esports stages released to support the Capcom Pro Tour, and not on any other stage.The ads that have been pasted onto character costumes are only present on each character's main default costume, so if you use an alternate, you're safe.To incentivize players to leave ads turned on, you're rewarded with Fight Money, SF5's in-game currency that can be used to purchase DLC for 'free', for every ad you see.When turned off you don't see them at all, regardless of your opponent's settings The new ads are optional, and can be turned on and off via an option in the Battle Settings menu.Second, the ads are restricted to certain costumes and stages, such as the costumes shown in the above screenshot from ResetEra user Shang. Now, I want to be clear and fair: these ads are fairly limited in scope. Guile, say goodbye to your iconic American flag tattoos and say hello to some corporate logos!

#Stupid game ads Patch#

Last night, that patch was pushed out to players: and boy, these advertisements are grim. While some outlets were quick to condemn, at the time we didn't report on it since with the fast turn-around from announcement to implementation of features in SF5 it made more sense to wait see it for ourselves. Capcom just added in-game advertisements to Street Fighter 5 - and if they weren't so gross they'd actually be pretty funny.Ī few days ago, Capcom announced that it'd be adding in-game advertisements to Street Fighter 5.
