Ridiculous Advertisements Taking over GameSpot

First it was the ad covering images of games. Then it was the ad that covers the news, "Latest and Greatest", and the top news/previews/reviews section.

Hey Gamespot, please don't use such annoying ads. I am heading to IGN. At least they don't intentionally block the content with ads even if it's for a brief period of time.

Because of the ads, you get to use Gamespot for free. Don't complain about getting something for free, its just wrong. If your parents gave you a gift you don't like, would you complain that its not good enough and ask them to buy something better? No, unless you're just spoiled and unapreciative, which judging by your post, you just might be.

Besides, if you hate the ads that much, just sign up for GS Complete.

Haha, wow, I didn't see this posting, but it just shows how bad this advertisement stuff is.

The point is, people, is that the content shouldn't be blocked ever like it is from these advertisements. There's a lot of cleaner ways they can advertise, and still get the money that they are getting to keep their servers and employees running.

As a web designer, I know how important it is to keep this in mind: Make it as easy to the user as possible.

You shouldn't annoy your userbase like that. That's just a design flaw that needs to be fixed. It's minor, I know, but it's just irritating. There's people who are really slow in this world, and if they see stuff like the news blocked -- what are they going to think and do?

The reason I no longer subscribe, is that there wasn't enough exclusive content that I had to have to justify the $40 price tag. Do I really need HD-quality closeups of Jeff Gerstmann's face? No.placksheep

That sir, is the funniest thing I have read on GameSpot.
