I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

NBA 2K has had ads in it for a while, though I can't remember if they're specifically in the loading screen or not.

I think EA also did this with the ad boards around the pitch in FIFA one year IIRC

It's EA, what do you expect

I mean there does have to be something there and while I prefer charities, fake companies or promoting your own products, if they're not targeted and realistic so you see eg. Ethiad ads while playing as City I don't think that's too bad... But on loading screens, menu screens or as popups gtfo, even if it's your own product
