Yeah, you absolutely can, but knowing to do that means that the advert has already delivered its message to you.

Futzing around with the launcher settings seems like more work than just clicking "no" on an advert that pops up.

You're right, once. But adding that one time means I never have to see the launcher again. Clicking no means extra launch time and looking at it every time I launch the game.

But different strokes for different folks. If it's not worth it to you then that's cool. It was worth it for me and I thought I'd drop that for anyone else who may want it.

I have the same launcher settings set, so I mean I kind of agree? But you've seen the advert, and that's basically all they want.

I just think it's kind of weird how people react to things once they've filtered their thinking through the hivemind of the internet versus before.
