Yeah, this is as horrible as it sounds.

No one wants contextual Walmart ads in their fucking game.

No one wants contextual ~~Walmart~~ ads

Anywhere.

I don't know. It might help with immersion in a dystopian cyberpunk game, like all the ads in Blade Runner.

"Immersive Commerce" is the most vomit inducing thing I've read today.

Unity wont stop doing stupid shit, won´t they?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, no amount of apologies will hide their new focus. I'm forever avoiding Unity at this point.

Synergize and innovate creative systems and shove them up your ass, Unity.

I really thought this was going to be on theonion.

Oh boy! I can't wait to head home from my job at Walmart to spend my money at Digital Walmart

Not my fucking games

Immersive commerce is totally the top priority of all players and developers! Players, don't you have wallets??

Coordinated inauthentic behaviour.

Hmm, maybe a useful feature in lemmy would be to ignore votes by users who voted up a specific post, like a user configurable anti vote manipulation feature. Because this post is incredibly obviously artificially upvoted

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

People up vote bad news too, you know
