Commercials during games increased dramatically

Why are games being interrupted every minute or two with a commercial? These games have become totally unenjoyable.

Networks are paying out BILLIONS for the right to air these games. They are here to stay. I think it is in basketball that they have a time set for a commercial and the coach's plan their timeouts around them.

Online ads in AARP games I believe OP is referring to.

Yes, I meant the AARP games like Garden Bloom (which isn't even working right at this time).

It never entered my mind that the post was about games in here.

I only have ad's at the start of the game, not during???

I have just started playing the new HEX game and after every and I mean EVERY game (it doesn't matter if I click next game or replay current game)there is ALWAYS a commercial. I had started timing them and the first one was 5minutes 19 seconds---- and the second was even longer at 6minutes 22 seconds. WHY ARE THE ADS SO LONG? IT IS FRUSTRATING!!

I agree. Way too many commercials/videos and some last over 15 minutes. And the game has reset to level 0 three times for me so have to start all over again. Very frustrating.
