So on my mobile device GoW has recently started showing two separate 30-second ads consecutively. That’s painful enough! What’s far worse, though, is that the second ad freezes, every….single…time, at either 9 or 3 seconds remaining! The only way to escape is to close and restart the game.
And then, guess what? The ad reward is still unearned. Most of the time, a third (!) ad is a short one. But today I received yet another 45-second ad.
Please, please, for the love of all we hold dearly, stop this nonsense. At the very least, please resolve the ad freezes.

I stopped watching them about a year ago for the very same reason… Those ads are great especially for newer players, so this problem should get looked at…

Just some information on these ads… they are not handled by IP2
So we have the programming in place that links the button in-game out to an ad that plays, once that ad is finished, it sends a call to our servers to send the mail.
Unfortunately, everything in between is not handled by our programming.
I have raised this with the team, to see if we can contact the team responsible for these ads, to investigate what is happening.
But as it is not internal, I don’t have an ETA on when we will get more information, let alone a resolution.
