No matter how many readiculously long Right Guard commercials you put before EVERY video on this site, I'm not gonna buy Right Guard. What happened to the 10-15 second commericials? This is really starting to get on my nerves. -____-

You are getting free content; bandwidth, production, etc cost money; if you aren't going to sign up, they have to pay for it somehow. Man, youngins today

If you're a paid subscriber then you don't get the ads, so it's a little bit silly to complain about them.

I do find it annoying to see an advertisement before watching a trailer... which y'know, is an advertisement itself.

It's fine as long as it isn't the same unskipable commercial every freakin time, fortunately I don't need to go through that in Gamespot anymore.

I didn't know that people were upset that Gamspot is trying to earn money

I mean they're a website, that's how they make their money. It's not like they digging ditches or cooking food.

dude watching a advertisement that is longer than the video is quite ridiculous. its one thing if the ads were only like 15 seconds long but 40 seconds is uncalled for

Do you think this site just magically stays on the web? This is a business.

Perhaps you shouldn't watch, or sign up for a membership; either of those seems like a pretty viable option to me

Really? :?

That happens when the entire screen turns into a commercial video and you can click "Continue to Gamespot", I dont think that happens with videos.

Those RG commercials are f'n stupid. I'm boycotting the product simply on principle. That's what I hate about advertising that tries to annoy you. They say it's better to have the product in someone's mind, but if the association it leaves is purely negative isn't eh advertising couner-productive? Still, it's not as bad as IGN's idiotic ads that take over the entire site. I really hate clicking on a link and being redirected to a product's site, especially seeing as how IGN's already saturated with ads as it is.

Yeah. Its way too much. I have been using GS for years but im looking for a new, less full-length advert driven site now. If you pay money for this than you are just an idiot. They finally got their flash player working right and now its time to advertise the same stupid annoying ad before EVERY single video
