Why am I constantly getting Fortnite ads forced down my throat on XSS?

ShandyP · Dec 26, 2023

For months now, I've had the same game being pushed on me over and over with the Xbox Home ads. Not once have I even considered installing Fortnite as it is a game for toxic children yet you seem to think I really want to play it. And even more recently, throwing the Lego and Festival versions on there just to spice it up.

Let me reiterate; I cannot stand Fortnite and have absolutely zero intention of playing it! Can you do either one of these two things:

1) Let us share our opinion on "Sponsored" ads just like the rest of them so we can let you know if you're wasting your time (or more importantly, ours)

2) maybe try personalised ads instead, that way we might actually buy something relatable to us and not just get irritated by the constant eyesore that is Fortnite.

You claim to be against toxicity in gaming with all your new policies etc, yet you are actively pushing on gamers THE most toxic game ever made. This is so backwards.

Hello Shandy,

Thank you for sharing your insights about the sponsored ads. We understand that you would like to personalize the ads you are seeing on Xbox Home.

As we do not have an option to share opinions on sponsored ads at this time. You can adjust your ad preferences by visiting the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard (Microsoft account | Privacy). This will allow you to manage the types of ads see to be useful and relevant to you.

Additionally, you can provide these 2 things you shared to us - as an idea directly to Team Xbox by using this link: Xbox Support.

We appreciate your suggestion for Xbox improvement! Thanks for sharing and happy holidays!

Heh, still gimmicky, and not something I am interested in. But that is why PS4 has my vote. They aren't FORCING it down my throat.

Man, it really sucks that is free also...why don't they just force more free stuff down our throats already!!

Exactly, No developer is forcing their games down your throat.

Don't care. I'd rather waste my $100 on something "I" want to waste it on. No some peripheral forced down my throat that I will never use.
