Oooo, that happens and I’d make it a point to contact the manufacturer/creator of said advertised product or service and politely inform them that because of the interruption of MY TIME, while relxing in a game, I will now never, ever consider their company, goods or services.
Make it formal, concise and final and if possible send it to the CEO. You want that one to come down on the head of whomever decided to insert themselves into a player’s game - get them in trouble with the boss - with a vengeance.
While I agree people should oppose this, I really don’t think the head of Microsoft gaming decision or the current Microsoft CEO would care about your letter and most likely it wouldn’t even reach them.
You’d be surprised what can happen when the underlings that are responsible catch wind that angry customers are trying to get in touch with the boss.
Learned this one from the wife of a CEO, and it works.
Years ago, in a battle with HCA, I got a major part of my husband’s hospital bill from a surgery charge dropped because the bill which was part of a Workman’s Comp case was challeneged by the businesses insurer, went into legal arbitration, and we won.
The hospital had 6 months to get the full and compete bill to the Workman’s Comp insurer and they fucked the dog and when the insurance settled, the part that was for the use of the surgical suite - the single LARGEST part of the bill - was not included in the total.
Imagine my surprise when 5 months later, that part of the bill showed up.
Oh hell no. Straight to the top, naming and shaming the head of corporate billing. Used meaty words like “incompetent” and “ineffective”.
Two weeks later I got a call from the head of corporate billing herself, and a letter stating that yes, ooops, we’re sorry, the bill has been forgiven.

It often works.

Oh, that’s not who the letter is for.

ALWAYS go to the top.
