To Admin and our beloved Steward

Post by Nick Gilmore »

In this day and age, advertising is everything. I can no longer play 2 games of spider solitaire back to back without a commercial in between. I used to be able to cancel the commercial and carry on. Today I got locked out of the game until I watched a 60 second commercial (which I’ve seen numerous times already), well I shut that down quick.

I can only imagine how tempting it must be to accept what must be a lucrative donation into your coffers. But I thank you with all my heart for keeping the commercials out of the Sim! I’m sure I’m not the only one to feel this way....

While it is nice that we don’t have Ads if they earned a few extra dollars for the SIM you’d certainly get no complaints for me. As long as they weren’t intrusive that is!

I agree with Nick. Keep the Sim ad free.

Agreed. It’s lovely to play a game without any ads.

Phone game ads are SO annoying! Thank you sooooo much for not having them! I can only imagine having an ad pop up every 3 page clicks...I play sudoku on my phone to help me fall asleep, there is an ad when you start a puzzle and an ad when you finish...WORST.

The ability to purchase game points probably influences the decision to not accept any form of advertising?

I agree Nick, watching YouTube lately isn't as enjoyable as it once was.

Personally, I never wear clothing that makes me a proxy billboard for an athletic company, for instance.

I agree, I tried watching a YouTube video the other day and it had two ads before it...PASS!

And same on the clothes front! I hate wearing things with logos slapped all over it, they aren’t paying me for advertising...Although I would LOVE a Sim hat haha

Want to keep the SIM ad-free? Buy Simperior or tons of game points so that it never comes down to a question of outside ads. Show true thanks and spend $50 bucks on some game points instead of forum messages. This post is silly to me. Actions speak louder than keyboard words. The SIM is so much classier than a typical play store app. You can’t even compare the two. I doubt this is even a consideration.

Whatever the hats sell for now, I would pay double or more to have my silks on the side of the hat.
