Started with playing tetris on a small portable 1st generation console lol... moved on to 'Dangerous Dave' and 'Hercules' on PC, followed by 'Contra' and the like on cartridge, and later NFS: porsche on a PC. Then came the Gameboy with pokemon and DBZ, closely followed by the PSP and PS2..... I guess my most fond memories of these are playing Daxter on the PSP and being glued to the TV monitor, playing a God of War/ WWE/ San Andreas marathon in the gaming parlour next to my home... Ahh, the good ol days :') Soon after, we got ourselves a Playstation 3, one of the earlier design variants, alongside playing free online games on facebook lol..... Some time in 2013, a friend introduced me to tanki, and that was that :)

The ones who're already dedicated to it would. New players would be intimidated, and the decision would adversely affect the game in the long run. Think about it, players quit when they're bored, most stay for sentimental value. When thats lost, the drop-off rates become higher (I agree with Maf, the pop-ups make the game seem cheap and unprofessional, as from personal experience, I've never managed to get attached to a game with them till date). If you combine this with the decreases in new players joining you'd have yourself a steady downward spiral that would bankrupt the game, ads or not. But perhaps, just MAYBE, an updated interface could blend the ads seamlessly into the game, as the current one would leave ads feeling misplaced like a sore spot. But I'm still against the idea of defacing the game with pop-ups and ads
