Saw this coming a mile away:
 
To help provide ongoing support for the free service, starting March 5, 2024, free users will experience up to two minutes of video sponsorship messages before each free gaming session while in queue.
 
I have premium access but I never use it. 'Now' I never will. lol.
 
..although the email seems to contradict itself. It tells me I will get ads, then tells me as a premium member I won't. Hmmm... badly worded, I'm unclear one way or the other. O.o    ..meh, irrelevant as I don't use it anyway, but some forum members here might.
 
 
 

I will see how it goes but I don’t think two minutes is too bad for a lot of people. Gives them a chance to go get something to drink while gaming.

Any ad for a "Premium" paid service is meh. Fort he free to use service? OK, Ads for you.
