Having a 4 year old son I am the first person to put my hand up and say I absolutely HATE ads and general in-app purchases for games that he likes to play on my iPhone. In some cases the way these are implemented it is almost akin to being in a casino which is not a skill I really want my son picking up (watch this ad to see what prize you can WIN etc). I welcome Sega's announcement and will be delighted to hand over…

Not that I'm defending the ad, but if you wait the timeout an x will appear to close the ad. No game play needed
Was just going to say this. It's annoying, but of all the ads, it's actually more of the least offensive. Instead of a faked video of what the game "is" you actually get to see the mechanics of it. No idea how true the ad is to the game since it's not my cup of tea but it's smart.

Not if they force you to do work for them in order to use it. They're basically employing you to look at ads, and paying you in game time.
I guess I'm not getting this. The game costs no money out of pocket to play, I'm just exchanging ads for playing? Isn't that a free (as in money) game?
The Sonic game uses the most vile type of in-app ad. The ad requires you to play Game of War for some indeterminate amount of time. You are made to play it after every stage. I hope Sega changes this, it basically makes their game unplayable.

I'm starting to get to the point where I wish people weren't allowed to call advertising supported products "free." I don't know what other term would be better, but I feel like users are paying some non-monetary cost.
