Sony and Xbox introducing ads

After reports have surfaced this week that Microsoft might introduce ads to its Free-To-Play (FTP) games on Xbox, Business Insider has also reported that Sony’s Playstation is also planning to do the same. The reasoning behind this, according to experts, could be to incentivise more developers to make free-to-play games, as it will generate a revenue stream without depending on micro-transactions.
