This is like saying: "We know you bought a pig in a sack, but rest assured that we use your money and the advertisers money to fuel are infernal engine of mammon!"

I got a great pitch for making money.
Lets make a computer game and charge ppl 50$ for it... or no, make that 45$.
Now lets make it a online game but free to play, that will bring in the punters.
Now what about server cost you say... well lets put adds in the game.
That way we get mony from ather companys.
But what about the players?
Thay wont notis i promiss.
So your saying lets charg ppl full price for the game and make them watch adds as thay play in hope that it will brain wasch them?
Yes, we have done it on tv for years now...
Well... latest poll says ppl are changing chanels when adds come on now cus thay are bored with adds, wont ppl stop playing the game?
No cus computers is a wounder full thing... you can bet your last dollar that some one will find a way to stop the adds with a 3 party program.
That wya we wont lose the players and we still get our add money... cus wer not stoping ppl from looking at it... now are we Smile

ps. yes i know my spelling sucks... im from sweden, we dont get as manny adds as you do, so we are still in the stone age Wink .
